Well, okapi (Gentoo) doesn't like it:

configure:29191: checking for libperl
configure:29217: icc -o conftest -O3 -xSSSE3 -parallel -ip -mp1 
-fno-strict-aliasing -g -I/usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.4/x86_64-linux/CORE  
-D_GNU_SOURCE -I/usr/include/libxml2  -I/usr/include/et   conftest.c  -Wl,-O1 
-Wl,--as-needed  -L/usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.4/x86_64-linux/CORE -lperl -lnsl -ldl 
-lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc -lxslt -lxml2 -lssl -lcrypto -lkrb5 -lz -lreadline 
-lcrypt -lm  >&5
ld: conftest: hidden symbol `pthread_atfork' in 
/usr/lib64/libpthread_nonshared.a(pthread_atfork.oS) is referenced by DSO
ld: final link failed: Bad value

The previous successful build on that box shows that plperl was linked
like this without any error:

icc -O3 -xSSSE3 -parallel -ip -mp1 -fno-strict-aliasing -g -fpic -shared -o 
plperl.so plperl.o SPI.o Util.o -L../../../src/port  
-Wl,-rpath,'/usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.4/x86_64-linux/CORE',--enable-new-dtags  
-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed  -L/usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.4/x86_64-linux/CORE -lperl 
-lnsl -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc 

The best guess I can come up with is that this box is only able to link
libperl.so into a shared library, ie the "-fpic -shared" part of the
recipe is critical.  If so, this idea is a failure and we're gonna have
to remove the link test, because there is no way I'm going to try to put
enough smarts into the configure script to do a shared-library link
correctly.

However, I don't know Gentoo at all, and it may be there's some other
explanation that we could cope with more readily.  Thoughts?
