I'm probably missing something here, but it looks fairly similar
in the 3 BSDs.

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/lib/libc/dlfcn/dlfcn_stubs.c

http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/lib/libc/dlfcn/dlfcn_elf.c

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/lib/libc/gen/dlfcn.c

if OpenBSD should be doing something different for a good reason,
now would be a good time to let them know, as they are just
beginning a new development cycle.
