It looks like the problem is that "g++ -shared" doesn't link to libstdc++.
Here's the output from my original message (except wrapped for your viewing
pleasure):

  g++ -shared -v /dev/null 2>&1|grep "\-L"

  [...]

  On an x86 OpenBSD 3.7 box with g++ 3.3.5 this gives:

   /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-unknown-openbsd3.7/3.3.5/collect2 --eh-frame-hdr
     -shared -Bdynamic -dynamic-linker /usr/libexec/ld.so /usr/lib/crtbeginS.o
     -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-unknown-openbsd3.7/3.3.5 /dev/null -lsupc++ -lgcc
     -lgcc /usr/lib/crtendS.o

  Note: -lsupc++ instead of -lstdc++.

Without the -shared, the output *does* contain -lstdc++.

So using "g++ -shared" to do the link means my module doesn't depend on
libstdc++.  With dlopen from a C++ program that would be OK, as the program
would pull in libstdc++, but dlopen from a C program fails.
