Can't build 5.14.2 on Ubuntu 11.04 with user-installed gcc #11679

When I try to build perl 5.14.2 on Ubuntu 11.04 and gcc 4.6
I get errors due to missing libm.so

I fixed this with Configure -Dplibpth=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu

The problem is because I have installed gcc 4.6 but this does
not find find /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu with gcc -print-search-dirs

This is fixed in blead with commit dcffd84 and I think this
should be cherry-picked for maint-5.14

Can anyone confirm whether this has indeed been fixed in blead?

Is it important enough to be cherry-picked for any possible 5.14.3?

Thank you very much.

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and couldn't compile blead as of
2d1dec4. The error is exactly the same.

Since I'm using a 64 bits kernel I was able to compile perl-5.14.2
passing '-Dplibpth=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu' instead of '-
Dplibpth=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu' to ./Configure.

Could you please explain in more detail exactly what you did and what you
found? I'm confused.

Specifically, perl-5.14.2 should compile out of the box on Ubuntu 10.11
with the system gcc. Blead should also compile with either the system gcc
or a private gcc, unless something unusual is going on with the library
directories that is significantly different between the system and the
private gcc.

Yup, this somehow missed the libraries, even though blead's hints are
supposed to pick them up.

I wonder if we're running the wrong gcc command, or if the output has
changed, or if something else entirely is going on.

First, could you check whether 'gcc' and '/usr/bin/gcc' are the same?
(The hints file prefers /usr/bin/gcc.)

Next, could you run

/usr/bin/gcc -print-search-dirs

and post the results?

I think you have been trying to contact me re this bug - sorry to be
unresponsive.

I have not been able to check that the bug is resolved, as I do not have
Ubuntu 11.04 and the version I now have (Ubuntu 11.10) does not exhibit
the bug.

But when I originally investigated the bug, I applied commit
dcffd84 from blead to the maint-5.14 branch and this solved the
bug. As that commit has been applied to 5.14, I have every expectation
that the bug has been resolved and I suggest this bug should be closed.
