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

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.
This seems fairly unlikely. You're supposed to be able to use it in a
standalone executable - see the perlembed manpage. But I guess with
Gentoo anything is possible.
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?
Maybe we need a test that mirrors our use of PERL_SYS_INIT3?, something
like:
#include <EXTERN.h> /* from the Perl distribution */
#include <perl.h> /* from the Perl distribution */
static PerlInterpreter *my_perl; /*** The Perl interpreter ***/
int main(int argc, char **argv, char **env)
{
#if defined(PERL_SYS_INIT3) && !defined(MYMALLOC)
PERL_SYS_INIT3(&argc,&argv,&env);
#endif
my_perl = perl_alloc();
}
Or maybe for a standalone executable we need to use the ccopts as
suggested by the perlembed manpage:
cc -o interp interp.c `perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts -e ldopts`
