dynload_dl.c is no longer referenced anywhere in the code. It was used to support dynamic loading on IRIX 4 and DYNIX, but those platforms were dropped in https://github.com/cpython/cpython/commit/b9949dbe6c20537b7821f25fc1eeb4e7f3faabff. Considering that commit removes all references to dynload_dl, I suspect it was an oversight that it was not removed in that commit.

Poor IRIX platform :-( Not so long ago (2 years ago?), the bitesnake service provided IRIX machines!
