[oe] Perl5 build issues (meta-cpan only?)

[Jens Rehsack]

Hi all,

please apologize that I didn't act earlier after Alexanders update of perl. Too many weddings ... you know very well.

The problem with the conflicts with the dual-life modules we should perhaps discuss separately - as far as I know, there were more fundamental problems with -native. Then we might not only need a technical solution for ... I try to come to Lyon.

Maybe one or the other has already seen the following message in connection with modules::Build-based Perl modules:
ERROR: hash-fieldhash-perl-0.15-r0 do_package_qa: QA Issue: No GNU_HASH in the ELF binary /home/sno/gpw-community-bsp/gpw-yocto-platform/tmp/work/cortexa8hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/hash-fieldhash-perl/0.15-r0/packages-split/hash-fieldhash-perl/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.30.0/arm-linux/auto/Hash/FieldHash/FieldHash.so, didn't pass LDFLAGS? [ldflags]

ERROR: Task (/home/sno/gpw-community-bsp/sources/meta-cpan/recipes-devel/hash-fieldhash-perl/hash-fieldhash-perl_0.15.bb:do_package_qa) failed with exit code '1'

I think the reason is in https://metacpan.org/source/AMBS/ExtUtils-CBuilder-0.280231/lib/ExtUtils/CBuilder/Base.pm#L319 where the arguments from ldflags are thrown away.

When those issues came up somewhere else than in meta-cpan, please let me know (only open-source ^^). We should develop a fix like https://github.com/meta-cpan/meta-cpan/commit/52ded0759daa3bff909bf5fac6d31c6bc52d713e then ...

For now - I think Alberto should receive a patch to use ldflags, too.

I cannot decide how critic and important that is to make it into perl-5.30.1 ...
When ExtUtils::CBuilder is properly fixed, no changed are required to cpan_build.bbclass, aren't they?

Cheers
