I tried your patch on v5.6.1 trial2. It built and the resulting perl
passed all its tests.
However when I try to use this perl to build mod_perl, it doesn't
even succeed in performing the configuration. I use the
following configuration command:
/usr/local/bin/perl5.6.1 Makefile.PL \
USE_APXS=1 WITH_APXS=/usr/local/bin/apxs \
PERL_USELARGEFILES=0
No error messages are dispayed, the configuration just stops.
When I add a -w to the options I get 2 warnings:
....
PerlSSI.....................disabled (enable with PERL_SSI=1)
Use of uninitialized value in hash element at Makefile.PL line 1654.
Use of uninitialized value in hash element at Makefile.PL line 1654.

Now please type 'make' to build libperl.so

but with perl5.6.0 I also get these warnings:
....

Perl5.6.0 completes the configuration normally.
The only thing I can imagine is that the "new" perl is
trying to open modules in the 5.6.0 or 5.5.3 site_perl subdirectories,
and that there is an incompatibility with the link options. But I can't
imagine what that incompatibility is.
