dynamic linking on OpenBSD

[David Lebel <lebel@lebel.org>]

Hello,
 
I'm the maintainer of the zsh port for OpenBSD in its ports tree, and
the way configure setup dynamic linking for OpenBSD is wrong.  Well, it
does work for most of the OpenBSD platform, but its not correct.
DLLDFLAGS should be "-shared -fPIC" and the linker should be ${CC} not
ld.
 
Here is a trivial diff to the configure script so it works correctly.
Adapt to your liking.
 
Ciao,
  ...David
