It looks like upstream commit http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/41d73075f0801c26794dadb1ff690f305d7e53a7 changed the default Configure behaviour: - -O : let -D and -U override definitions from loaded configuration file. + -O : ignored for backward compatibility We specify -Dccflags=[...] from debian/config.debian, so it now overrides the settings in hints/gnu.sh. It looks like the other architectures get _GNU_SOURCE (and _REENTRANT) via hints/linux.sh -> UU/usethreads.cbu, possibly Hurd needs something similar. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org
