Isn't -Bshareable an ld thing? In cc it sets a prefix to use, which I
don't think `shareable' is... perl installation uses cc if you have elf,
ld if not... pity it doesn't set command line options for cc that work
too. I never did get Perl to build after going elf, had to reinstall
the packaged aout version :-( When I told it to use ld instead of cc, it
built OK, but half (alright, about a fifth) of the tests failed.

If anyone has got Perl (5.004_04 or 5.005_02) to build on elf, I'd like
to know how.
