The upstream Configure adds -L/usr/local/lib to ldflags which I've retained, as users may wish to build local modules/embedded programs in against libs in /usr/local/lib. >[...] DynaLoader, however, is a problem - >it's not PIC, but libperl is.

DynaLoader.a contains a single file, DynaLoader.o which is used to provide a portable interface to dynamic loading (uses dlopen() here) and is compiled with -fPIC.
