From daniele.silvestre@atos.net

Hello,

I use the same configure flags to build perl 5.28 on AIX than with 5.26.1
5.26.1 builds succesfully, 5.28.0 fails.

Failure occurs in ext/B directory compilation
with 5.28.0 version , an additional -bE:B.exp is given on the gcc command uses to generate B.so
on AIX, all parameters given as arguments on the gcc command that are meaningul for the loader and then passed to ld must be prefixed with " -Wl,"

hints/aix.sh ligne 350 and later
ccflags="`echo $ccflags | sed -e 's@ -b@ -Wl,-b@g'`"
ldflags="`echo ' '$ldflags | sed -e 's@ -b@ -Wl,-b@g'`"
lddlflags="`echo ' '$lddlflags | sed -e 's@ -b@ -Wl,-b@g'`"
lddlflags="`echo ' '$lddlflags | sed -e 's@ -G @ -Wl,-G @g'`"
correctly modifies [cc/ld/lsdl}flags for the upper level Makefile

I suppose that seamlessly an additional ext/B/hints/aix.sh has to be added to fix/modify the generated ext/B/Makefile
but I didn't suceed to correctly write it

Thanks for your help

lddlflags="`echo ' '$lddlflags | sed -e 's@ -G @ -Wl,-
G @g'`"
correctly modifies [cc/ld/lsdl}flags for the upper level Makefile

I suppose that seamlessly an additional ext/B/hints/aix.sh has to be
added to fix/modify the generated ext/B/Makefile
but I didn't suceed to correctly write it

Thanks for your help

I do not have experience with AIX, so I cannot directly explore your problem.

However, I notice that when you compiled perl-5.26 on this machine, you used a very long list of configuration options. We should try to rule out the possibility that your inability to compile perl-5.28 might lie somewhere in that long list?

If you try to compile and build perl-5.28 with a simple configuration line like the following, do you succeed?

#####
sh ./Configure -des

Thank you very much.

Isn't the issue due to some bad evaluation of some Perl expression? The
`/.exists B.exp` looks fishy.

with 5.28.0 version , an additional -bE:B.exp is given on the gcc

In your build tree, try running:

./miniperl -Ilib -V

As a workaround, try editing cpan/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/lib/ExtUtils/MM_AIX.pm

Search for "sub xs_dlsyms_arg" and change:

return qq{-bE:${file}};

to

return qq{-Wl,-bE:${file}};

Please let us know if that helps.
