BTW, as far as I can tell from the underlying discussion at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=962138 there was no actual change in the existence of the shared library, but what is now happening is that we are getting a result reflecting the fact that /usr/bin/perl itself is statically linked. I wonder whether we could just drop the configure-time test for useshrplib. The worst-case scenario is that a user grinds through a build and eventually gets an obscure link error, but that's probably quite uncommon these days. regards, tom lane
