requesting help

Can someone at OpenBSD help??

I recently switched over from FreeBSD to OpenBSD, I needed the bump up in security.
Anyway, the dlfunc routine seems not to work in OpenBSD.  You know, this is part of the dynamic library stuff.

And very recently I moved to the clang system, again something that was forced on me.  What I'd like is to finish my project...
Now...  I create C code, typically many thousands of lines of C,  then I have to compile these routines and run them.  When I only have several, no problem, I just edit the program to include them, done.  But the program makes use of machine genetics, and the first cut is typically just that.  The program makes a best-guess change and tackles the problem again.  Testing involves running against a substantial test suite, so I don't have problems with over-training and such.
On the other hand I have the very real and very bad problem that I can 'tchange this program, I can run what I built under FreeBSD, and I'm wondering if I have to keep one box running under that OS because there my stuff runs just fine.
So... if you know how I can:
a) make dlfunc work under OpenBSD, that would be good, that would solve my problem and maybe let me finish up.  Or,
b)  load and run C routines under clang, that would be another solution, though I am more familar with GCC,
