#7770: Remove a bitrotted hack for OpenBSD and NetBSD regarding the dyn way

--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
On OpenBSD and NetBSD, we were accidentally passing ``-optl-pthread`` to
the gcc to build dynamic libraries because of a bitrotted hack for those
OSes, which resulted in a weird situation where every dynamic library is
named "ptl-pthread" and placed at ``$(TOP)``.
The hack in question were to work around a linkage problem with libHSffi,
but we no longer build it and just use libffi these days so the hack can
safely be removed.
