Description Phil Almquist 2003-04-04 08:49:04 UTC
Emerging dev-lang/perl-5.8 doesnt check whether or not sys-devel/libperl was 
compiled with threads but asks seperately.  If Perl is compiled with threads 
but libperl is not then things start to break and complain about unresolved 
symbols.  This problem first appeared to me when manually installing mod_perl, 
I kept recieving unresolved symbols errors which the rebuilder script wasnt 
fixing.  Compiling Perl with or without threads should also recompile libperl 
with the same options if necessary or at least a warning should be given.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge libperl without threads
2. Emerge perl with threads
3. Compile and try to load mod_perl

Actual Results:  
unresolved symbols

Expected Results:  
recompiled libperl to fix deps
