           Summary: Thread-support in perl-native may break libintl-perl
           Product: Openembedded
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Distributions
        AssignedTo: openembedded-issues at lists.openembedded.org
        ReportedBy: di at fh-wedel.de
         QAContact: tinderbox-oe at gmx.net


On most platforms thread support is turned off for the
cross-compiled perl packages. However it is always turned
on in the perl-native package. Since libraries like
libintl-perl depend on perl-native since they include their
headers from staging/[my-platform]-linux/lib/perl5 we get
an inconsistent configuration: the shared lib gettext_xs.so
is cross-compiled with headers with thread support turned
on while the actual (non-native) perl has it turned off. In
the end libintl-perl will not work:

  /var/bin/perl: relocation error:
/var/lib/perl5/auto/Locale/gettext_xs/gettext_xs.so: undefined symbol:
Perl_Gthr_key_ptr

Removing the `-Dusethreads' from the perl-native recipe solves
this problem, but will it cause problems for others?
