re-emerging glib, glibc, gcc,... did not help
Maybe I should add the compiler call that produces the error: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -o libperl.so.1.5.8 -L/usr/local/lib perl.o malloc.o gv.o toke.o perly.o op.o pad.o regcomp.o dump.o util.o mg.o reentr.o hv.o av.o run.o pp_hot.o sv.o pp.o scope.o pp_ctl.o pp_sys.o doop.o doio.o regexec.o utf8.o taint.o deb.o universal.o xsutils.o globals.o perlio.o perlapi.o numeric.o locale.o pp_pack.o pp_sort.o -lnsl -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc -lbsd -Wl,-soname -Wl,libperl.so.`echo libperl.so.1.5.8 | cut -d. -f3` /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.5/../../../crt1.o(.text+0x18): In function `_start': : undefined reference to `main' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [libperl.so.1.5.8] Error 1
Is it possible you ccache needs to be cleaned up?
many a month, closing.
