[PATCH] meson: remove useless libdl test
Posted by Paolo Bonzini 2 years, 6 months ago
dlopen is never used after it is sought via cc.find_library, because
plugins use gmodule instead; remove the test.

Right. I've just grep'ed for "dlopen" or the related dlfcn.h header in the 
sources and did not see any direct use.
