Patch to fix -export-dynamic typos.

When trying to build slurm with slibtool (https://dev.midipix.org/cross/slibtool) it fails for multiple reasons.

One of the reasons is that the build system has --export-dynamic everywhere when it should be -export-dynamic. GNU libtool does not expose this problem because it silently filters out the typo.

Unfortunately this is not the only problem exposed with slibtool, but I do not have fixes for the others yet. I will make new issues for those if and when I solve them.

From the slibtool --help:

     -export-dynamic       allow symbols in the output file to be resolved
                           via dlsym() [currently a no-op]
