Hi David,
I have done a lot of debugging on dragonfly and the issue proved to be
pretty basic.
Module::Build and ExtUtils::CBuilder both do some lookup based on
platform, the two lists are inconsistent and dragonfly is not
mentioned in the list in CBuilder, so dragonfly is not regarded as a
Unix system and the env command is not applied to the link commandline
produced in Module::Build's t/xs.t tests (test 13 to be exact).
So updating the list does the job in ExtUtils::CBuilder does the job
for dragonfly. The inconsistency does not matter, but the DRY
violation is of course a bit ugly.
Code snippets below,

# Okay, this is the brute-force method of finding out what kind of
# platform we're on. I don't know of a systematic way. These values
# came from the latest (bleadperl) perlport.pod.

Anyone want to volunteer to fix M::B on dragonfly?
