Trying perl-5.12.0 with the current LFS Chapter 5 instructions, I get
the errors below. I tried with gcc-4.5.0 and then backed off to LFS-6.5
and got exactly the same errors.
I used the commands:
cd perl-5.12.0
sh Configure -des -Dprefix=/tools \
-Dstatic_ext='Data/Dumper Fcntl IO POSIX'
make perl utilities ext/Errno/pm_to_blib
The problem seems to be using the -Dstatic_ext='Data/Dumper Fcntl IO
POSIX' option. If I omit POSIX, the build completes. I don't recall
the background of that switch. Does anyone remember the issues here?
The -Dstatic_ext was first added on 11/13/03 with the comment
"streamlined build commands for Perl's Chapter 5 static extensions." but
it seems to go back even further.
Note: Te sed in Chapter 6 does not seem to be required any more.
