Package: perl
Version: 5.10.1-13
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
By default patchlevel.h includes git_version.h. The latter is generated by
configure.
However the debian/config.debian uses patchlevel.h before running configure.
This has always been fairly borken, but old GCC processed the rest of the file
anyway, and none noticed the compiler errors. Recent GCC consider this a fatal
error and produce no output.
Defining PERL_PATCHLEVEL_H_IMPLICIT avoids requiring git_version.h while still
providing the necessary symbols.
