Could -no-undefined be included in PERL_EXT_LDFLAGS or similar when configure is run? It may still be possible to add the "-lperl" option needed under MinGW and Cygwin automatically. On the Solaris system in question, the missing symbols are in /usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib/i86pc-solaris-64int/CORE/libperl.so.1, and doing /bin/bash ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=link cc -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_TS_ERRNO -DVERSION=\"6.0\" -DXS_VERSION=\"6.0\" "-I/usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib/i86pc-solaris-64int/CORE" -module -o TestXS.la -rpath /home/gavin/local/lib/texinfo libtool.so TestXS_la-TestXS.lo -no-undefined -L/usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib/i86pc-solaris-64int/CORE -lperl worked with the -no-undefined flag. Now I just have to see if it's possible to get "-L/usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib/i86pc-solaris-64int/CORE -lperl" automatically from the output of perl -V.
