Solution; I think that: "-Wl,-shared" -option should be: "-shared" Note; this might be solved with newer perl versions, but 5.8.2-r1 seems to be only non-masked version for ppc64
those flags are generated based on your flags when you built perl (to see the flags, parse through the output of perl -V)
> Those flags are generated based on your flags when you built perl... Obviously so, but still perl-5.8.2-r1's flags are generated wrongly. btw. now perl-5.8.5-r5 has correct flags.
