https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1666098 Petr Pisar <ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |ASSIGNED --- Comment #1 from Petr Pisar <ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx> --- The unneeded libraries are there because of this: ExtUtils::Embed adds $Config{perllibs} to ldopts: $ perl -MConfig -e 'print qq{$Config{perllibs}\n}' -lpthread -lresolv -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc and perllibs is documented as: The list of libraries needed by Perl only (any libraries needed by extensions only will by dropped, if using dynamic loading). The perllibs documentation is not clear (as always) whether the flags are for linking with Perl or linking the Perl. The perllibs value suggests its for linking the Perl. ExtUtils::Embed documents ldopts like this: Output arguments for linking the Perl library and extensions to your application. I will forward this discrepancy to upstream, but do not hope in any action. Upstream is very reluctant to touching this code and any downstream changes always makes angry one or another party depending on which misfeature we remove and they rely on. The other options are there because perl enforces its ABI to applications that use perl. That's upstream's deliberate decision and that fix will be very painful. (No, it's not about rewriting ExtUtils::Embed, that's only a symptom. The real issue is Perl's build system that's hindered by a compatibility with the whole CPAN.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ perl-devel mailing list -- perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to perl-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
