Thanks for the report.

Yep. I've fixed that now in r21, but gcc would have been ignoring the option
anyway, so no great problem.

Are you using gentoo? That's the only place this issue has been reported so
far.

It seems to be some new behaviour in which LD_LIBRARY_PATH overrides the built
in rpath in binaries. Linux hasn't traditionally done this but for some reason
gentoo (at least) appears to have suddenly started to. The rpath points into
the correct directory in the staging area. At the moment I think an
s/LD_LIBRARY_PATH/LD_RUN_PATH/g on packages/perl/perl-5.8.8/config.sh should be
enough but as always the perl-native, perl and options are so twisted together
that I need to verify that this doesn't cause any issues on the target (in this
case I doubt it) or on other host systems.

I'll look at this some more in the next few hours.

hostperl should have been added to the bin directory in the staging area by
perl-native, and that directory should be getting added automatically by OE to
the start of the path when building perl:

~/devel/oe/build/titan-glibc-25%> ls -l tmp/staging/x86_64-linux/bin/hostperl 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 lenehan lenehan 82 2007-06-13 08:28
tmp/staging/x86_64-linux/bin/hostperl ->
/home/lenehan/devel/oe/build/titan-glibc-25/tmp/staging/x86_64-linux/bin/perl5.8.8*

Can you check that this exists and that perl-native built correctly? Thanks.
