GeoDjango needs binutils to load GEOS, but this is not mentioned in the documentation. Specifically the troubleshoot section relating to GEOS should mention this.

Yup, figured this out when ctypes couldn't load the libraries on a fresh install of 8.10.

More specifically, the ctypes utility find_library needs the binutils program objdump.
