Not a problem. I'm attaching a patch which I believe fixes all the build

I've retested on Linux and cygwin (although cygwin has problems with
dynclasses), and all's well.
A summary of the changes:
* Two extra flags are made available (cc_shared, which was already extracted
from Perl but not used, and ccdlflags, which probably needs a better name!),
and added to the makefile etc.
Agreed -- ccdlflags indeed does need a better name. I'd suggest
link_dynamic, since it's really the flags to be supplied to the linker
that allow it to be used with shared and dynamically loaded libraries.
(Perl5's Configure confuses things by usually using $cc for linking as
well.)
Yea, this variable is clearly a C compiler-used-as-a-linker flag. How
about cc_link_dynamic?
