| dragonflybsd:

[freebsd*|dragonfly*], [
...
	DLDFLAGS="$DLDFLAGS "'-Wl,-soname,$(.TARGET)'

I think that this assignment should be removed.  That's the only occurrence of
-Wl,-soname in DLDFLAGS in the whole script.

Possibly we should do instead what is done for netbsd elsewhere in the script:
[netbsd*], [
...
	LIBRUBY_DLDFLAGS='-Wl,-soname,lib$(RUBY_SO_NAME).so.$(MAJOR)$(MINOR)'

In freebsd/dragonfly block (preceding the netbsd one) this could be written more
compactly as:
	LIBRUBY_DLDFLAGS='-Wl,-soname,$(LIBRUBY_SO)'
