I have a package that uses perl itself to configure a makefile to use perl libraries. The command and its output are > perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lperl -s -s -L/usr/local/lib /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-multi/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a -L/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-multi/CORE -lcrypt
3 observations: 1) The "harmless note" suggests that the perl library is not where expected. Should it be -lperl5_6_1 or is there a missing link? 2) The -s causes the linker to drop the symbol table [when the command output is blindly used in a makefile]. Not nice while debugging! 3) why list /usr/local/lib? While not a show stopper, can this be fixed in future releases? Thanks.
