Sorry, I forgot this interesting make error message: Makefile:141: warning: overriding commands for target `libperl.a' Makefile:136: warning: ignoring old commands for target `libperl.a' This is the content of the Makefile (maybe something is off by one, but the point is that LIBEXT=a leads to a duplicate rule and the wrong rule wins. 135 libperl.a: $(MP_OBJS) 136 $(MP_RM) $@ 137 $(MP_AR) crv $@ $(MP_OBJS) 138 $(MP_RANLIB) $@ 139 140 libperl.$(LIBEXT): $(MP_OBJS_PIC) 141 $(MP_RM) $@ 142 $(MP_LD) $(MP_LDFLAGS_SHLIB) -o $@ $(MP_OBJS_PIC) $(MP_LIBS) 143 -- andreas
