These things are not necessarily related.
You can build OpenSSL with shared libraries. This means that applications
using OpenSSL (e.g. OpenSSH) will link against the shared libraries.
This will not need -ldl.

DSO support means, that OpenSSL's routines itself can load other shared
libraries on demand at runtime. This should only be needed when accessing
crypto hardware, like an accelerator card. This requires -ldl.
