Side note... I just tried to compile the CPAN version against 5.8.7, and tests fail. Not investigated yet, since I don't fully understand your Build.PL.
It's not that complicated. I'm just creating my own subclass so that I can hijack the "dist" action to create the Changes directly out of the repository (which in turn forces me to try and write informative commit messages ;-). Oh and the way M::B handles XS and C code is to dump the XS in /lib and then specify where any additional C modules go using the c_source stanza.
Where is it supposed to find this symbol ? in perl (in my case, libperl.so) or in the bundled util.c ?
It's defined in util/util.[ch]. I don't know why 5.8.7 (which I don't actually have built anywhere at the moment) would have problems (works fine in 5.8.5-6). Would you mind opening up a RT incident for it so I can remember to deal with it (with full 'perl -V' details of course)? testers.cpan.org has only had one test run (for 5.8.5, which succeeded) so far, so I don't know if this is going to be a trend.
