From cygwin@cygwin.com

This is a bug report for perl from cygwin@​cygwin.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.10.1.

Since Cwd has to be loaded for almost every module as core dependency,
I decided to use it as static_ext.
However this fails now with the following hardcoded wrong deps in
Makefile.SH​:

  case $f in
  Encode) extra_dep="$extra_dep
$this_target​: lib/auto/Cwd/Cwd.$dlext" ;;
...
  SDBM_File) extra_dep="$extra_dep
$this_target​: lib/auto/Cwd/Cwd.$dlext" ;;
  esac

Same for Scalar​::Util and List​::Util

dltext should be replaced with LIB_EXT in the case the ext is static.

Flags​:
  category=library
  severity=low

dltext should be replaced with LIB_EXT in the case the ext is static.

Well, not exactly, if they need the functionality provided by the XS
part of the module then they need $(PERL_EXE). But that isn't the
case here.

The Encode and SDBM_File dependencies were added because these modules
change directory during the build process, and because @​INC was setup
with relative paths to the directories needed during the build process
these would fail.

With Nicholas' buildcustomize.pl this is no longer an issue.

Removing these dependencies doesn't entirely fix the issue, since the
various utilities also depend on Cwd.

The Scalar/Util dependency is pure noise - Text/ParseWords is pure
perl and never appears in dynamic_ext, and even if this rule
triggered, the root Makefile doesn't have a
lib/auto/Scalar/Util.$dlext target (and no such file is built anyway.)

I have a set of fixes for this in branch tonyc/staticcwd, but I don't
know if this should be applied with the code freeze.

This was applied in 6c5941c and
de4c009, over a year ago, by me.

I guess I can close this ticket now :)
