The problem is likely the {{{ -L/Users/coke/bird/lib }}} near the
beginning of the link command. I suspect that came from the invalid
setting {{{ rpath='-L' }}} currently in the hints file. If you edit
config/init/hints/darwin.pm and change that to {{{ rpath='' }}} it should
remove that flag. Of course it might break something else earlier in the
build. I don't know how Mac OS binaries are supposed to find shared
libraries in non-standard locations.
I actually thought that Mac OS now supported -rpath (based on the links in
TT #344), but I have no way of testing any of that myself. If it does,
then copying the Linux setting of {{{ rpath = '-Wl,-rpath=' }}} might
work. If it doesn't, then somebody somewhere has to figure out the
equivalent set of flags to tell the runtime loader where to find shared
libraries.
> So, this is YA variant on the "installed parrot conflicts with building
parrot" problem.
Yes, it's TT #344 revisted.
