Work around glibc bug 11941 (dlclose assertion)

When building against glibc 2.24 or earlier, suppress calls to
dlclose() to prevent the assertion failure "_dl_close: Assertion
`map->l_init_called' failed" at process exit.  We need this workaround
to enable automated tests that load GSSAPI modules.
