I've not time to look properly but... > XS builds with INSTALLARCHLIB changed. > http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.makemaker/1512 Seems reasonable. Although the message says "attached is a patch that fixes it for Unix-style OSs" the patch relates to a block executed only if ($^O eq 'netbsd'). But that makes the patch more narrow in scope and thus safer to apply. > Something about linker portability. > http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.makemaker/1498 Dunno. Certainly the perlxstut portion quoted isn't portable. But I don't know what CC_PRE_TARGET is there for and I worry that AR_STATIC_ARGS is no longer used anywhere but might be used by someone. (Being able to grep all cpan for something like AR_STATIC_ARGS might be interesting.) Tim.
