Ah, that looks good. I suppose that we can generally expect that the ldflags output will look like "-L/some/path -lperl ...", and whether or not the libperl in that directory is .so or .a is not going to affect things at this level. Furthermore, given that this output is specifically defined to be flags to be used to *embed* libperl, it's the distro's own fault if they end up with libperl statically linked into other packages; they should not be putting a .a-style library there. So I'm content to fix this by removing the check for useshrplib. Any objections? regards, tom lane
