I tried to search for these messages, and found a few mentions of openssl getting built without libdl, but I don't see any evidence of that (the openssl log file has a line "EX_LIBS =-ldl").
I'm not sure how to fix this but I can tell you why it happens: libdl.a is not used by partimage but just by libgcrypt.a, but it's listed _before_ that. The order in which the libraries are given _is_ important. libgcrypt-config does not list libdl in --libs at all, quite not so cool of them; and they don't have a pkg-config file.
