Subject: Perl config broken: ld='ld'

Has anyone noticed Perl reporting ld='ld' instead of ld='gcc' under
3.1-STBALE? It causes problems sometimes when installing Perl modules.

cao@fern$ perl -V
Summary of my perl5 (5.0 patchlevel 5 subversion 2) configuration:
  Platform:
    osname=freebsd, osvers=3.0-current, archname=i386-freebsd
    uname='freebsd 3.0-current #0: '
    hint=recommended, useposix=true, d_sigaction=define
    usethreads=undef useperlio=undef d_sfio=undef
  Compiler:
    cc='cc', optimize='undef', gccversion=2.7.2.1
    cppflags=''
    ccflags =''
    stdchar='char', d_stdstdio=undef, usevfork=true
    intsize=4, longsize=4, ptrsize=4, doublesize=8
    d_longlong=define, longlongsize=8, d_longdbl=define, longdblsize=12
    alignbytes=4, usemymalloc=n, prototype=define
  Linker and Libraries:
    ld='ld', ldflags ='-Wl,-E '
       ^^^^
       Should be 'gcc' under ELF, no?

I tried to look and see where this is set during a `make world', but
I'm just not familiar enough with the way Perl is configured during
FreeBSD's build process. Left to its own devices, Perl's Configure
script will guess `gcc' correctly, so the value of `ld' must be hard
wired somewhere...

Thanks.

Chuck
