If the linking went ok then at least dlopen and friends were found.
The question is whether dynamic loading is working, not merely enabled.
So try this in src/:

% cat >dummy.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include "lua.h"

int luaopen_dummy (lua_State *L) {
  puts("hello from dummy");
  lua_pushnil(L);
  return 0;
}

(hit ^D here)

% gcc -o dummy.so -shared dummy.c
% lua -v -ldummy

If you see "hello from dummy", all is well.
If you see "undefined symbol: lua_pushnil", then dynamic loading is not working.
