Hmmm, there's something wrong w/ last perl update, breaks many ebuilds. :/

*** Bug 114452 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I encountered the same problems after upgrading perl to 5.8.7. I found the following solution on my amd64 machine: Add -fPIC to your CFLAGS , then emerge perl. As far as I understood it and a quick glance at the ebuild also told me, this should be normally set by the ebuild itself. For whatever reason it seems not to work as expected though. After that you can compile other modules that want to link against Dynaloader.
Unfortunately, this isn't an acceptable solution. Not everything should be compiled with -fPIC in all situations, so it cannot be forced in the ebuild. The Makefile needs to be patched.
It seems that the ${PN}-picdl.patch has been commented out from the perl-5.8.7-r2 ebuild, any reason for this? Uncommenting this patch again resolves this problem here.

There is no mention about why the patch is removed in the Changelog. This was entered when the patch was first applied *perl-5.8.2-r1 (29 Nov 2003) 29 Nov 2003; <rac@gentoo.org> perl-5.8.2-r1.ebuild, files/perl-5.8.2-picdl.patch: Make CCCDLFLAGS apply to static archives like DynaLoader.a as well, even though we are not building a shared libperl here, because we do have a shared library elsewhere. Should make it so that arches like amd64 and hppa no longer have to add -fPIC to all cflags blindly.
The picdl patch was commented out locally while trying to troubleshoot issues that it causes (segfaulting on really large regex's). Sorry for the typo in the committed version, resync and you will be happy again.

I think we need a revbump stabilising in order to propagate this fix to systems that have already upgraded.
(In reply to comment #15) > I think we need a revbump stabilising in order to propagate this fix to systems > that have already upgraded. Yes. Yes, you do.
Re-opening to ask that there be a rev bump. This fix requires a rebuild of perl on affected systems.
*** Bug 114591 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I'll bump it - but only systems that couldn't emerge in the first place are affected. Boxes that didn't have problems will be bumping yet again.
They could emerge perl, but stuff using DynaLoader.a couldn't emerge. So IMHO it definitely needs a revision bump. My system currently fails on some packages until I emerge perl again.
if you can hold on a few hours, perl's about to get bumped again anyway because of an incomplete security fix
The bump has fixed the issue and I have marked it stable on amd64.
Verified, works fine for me.
