Variation on the problem I originally posted....
Instead of passing something when I run Makefile.PL to alter CCFLAGS
in a lower-level Makefile.PL it turns out what i want to do is to
pass something to Makefile.PL that *appends* to the LD value in the
lower-level Makefile.PL
For example,
XM::Parser distro has:
Makefile.PL
Expat/
Makefile.PL
and if I do:
perl Makefile.PL
at the top level then the Makefile at the top and Expat/Makefile both
have:
LD = env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 cc
The value of 'LD' comes from $Config{ld}
What I want is a way to pass an argument to
perl Makefile.PL
that will *append* something to what is in LD. I want to end up with:
LD = env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 cc -arch ppc -arch i386
Now, you might think I could use the LD parameter when running
Makefile.PL, thusly:
my_ld=`perl -MConfig -e'print $Config{ld}'`
perl Makefile.PL LD="$my_ld -arch ppc -arch i386"
But, that only sets LD to the expected value in the top-level
Makefile, not in Expat/Makefile which doesn't help. It's the Expat/
Makefile that actually needs the extra settings.
I can hand-edit Expat/Makefile, but I want this to work as part of an
automated build process.
So, is this a bug in me, in MakeMaker, or somewhere else?

PS: If it's not obvious, I am trying to do an automated build of
XML::Parser and produce a "universal" version of auto/XML/Parser/
Expat/Expat.bundle that contains code for both ppc and i386.
