Hmmm, it's looking for zlib, but -lz wasn't given on the link line.
Ok, I think it's a gdbm dependency. During bootstrap I'd love to see Perl not relying on libs as much as possible.
scratch that, it should already be off, it just seems like the perl build insists on using gdbm/db when it finds it
Not quite -- it first searches for all libraries that it might possibly use, even when all modules using it are disabled, and then tests whether they work and fails to build if they don't. A patch that mostly fixes this broken behavior is in the works, and will become active when perl-5.18.2 is unmasked.
Fixed perl is in the tree by now.
