It is a bug in make bench, really.
Usually make bench output:
NOTE: the problem noted in 'program' is that install() does not work in your
configuration (gp-sta only), so you will not be able to use this feature.
Otherwise you can safely ignore the above warning.

This just means your system does not fully support dlopen().

There seem to be a way around that, from
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2000-11/msg00053.html>
Try to give the flag -Wl,-bexpall to gcc when linking gp.
(Add it to LDFLAGS)
And please report your success so that we can update configure!

Cheers,
Bill.
