Folks,
this small patch fixes a current problem with loading dynclasses on
HP-UX. The libraries are copied from dynclasses/ to
runtime/parrot/dynext/ but in the process lose their execute flags which
is one of the prerequisites for dlopen to open it.
Regards,
Nick
p.s. I've been having a look at how the internals of Configure work. I
like it! It's too early to say, but in the same way that it determines
if the C compiler is gcc, it may be necessary to do something similar
for the linker. Too early to say though...
[It looks like most of the initial values for Configure are extracted
from Perl. I need to find out why it chooses strange values for my 'ld',
unless we are misinterpreting some of their meanings]
