Yep. Guilty as charged yer honor. :-(
:)
Attached is a patch that _should_ fix it. It moves the setting for LD to init_linker() which in hindsight seems like a much more intelligent place for it. Patch is against MM 6.17. I have successfully built the original 5.6.2 test release using it and File::Spec 0.85
when applied to maintperl it fixes the problem for me. thanks!
