That wasn't committed.
I'd be really unhappy if much of netbsd base started using dlopen. I had
a lot of trouble debugging programs that make use of it in the past.
ls isn't used nearly as heavily in scripts/makefiles so a startup
penalty is fine.

I don't think the startup penalty is a required fact of life of using
dynamic linking, and I've tried profiling things to get numbers on where
its spending time, but having some trouble with dtrace at the moment.
