Description

As reported at http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2010-August/064258.html, some Perl modules (examples include Apache's mod_perl & Gnumeric) fail to build on x86_64. Passing '-Duseshrplib' to Perl's 'Configure' script fixes this.

Interesting. See

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-book/2001-July/001403.html

Note that it refers to bugzilla that we have not used in many years. Those very old comments really don't apply to this ticket though.

I've just tested an x86 build with -Duseshrplib and can confirm that libperl.so gets installed, and the rest of the build completes without issue (as expected). If you want me to commit my patch, I can do, or I can wait until someone can confirm on x86_64.

Fixed in revision 9371. Leaving open until lfs-6.7-rc2 or lfs-6.7 stable.

Matt, If you are going to make a patch, please accept the ticket so we don't both do it.
