Hmm, no I don’t have /usr/lib/libgcc_s.10.5.dylib either. I realised I had screwed up the order of the ln command in my previous post, but the refusal by MacOS X for me to create the symlink manually remained when the source and destination file references were reversed. I was however able to manually create the symlink in /usr/local/lib:
cd /usr/local/lib; sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libSystem.dylib libgcc_s.10.4.dylib and this allowed perl5162-core to build, however at the last step I encountered an error installing the deb file: (Reading database ... 174171 files and directories currently installed.)

This is very strange, as other fink packages (gcc7 & gcc8 for example) built fine. > On 7 Jan 2019, at 11:34 am, Justin Hallett <the...@southofheaven.org> wrote: > > We have been noticing that the missing symlinks form 10.0 are not always > being created on update to 10.1 and haven’t figured out why.
