illumos will not build against gcc compiled perl
100%
Description
Previous title: cw doesn't understand gnu c options
The problem is that cw expects to get Studio options, including -KPIC and -xO3.
When it receives -fPIC -DPIC and -O3, it fails. These options can come from perl makemaker. And perl makemaker gets them from current perl environment.
It seems that cw should be updated to understand GCC options (at least -On and -fPIC/-fpic/-DPIC).

Hi Alexander Pyhalov,
Are you working on solving this problem?
Incase you are not, I would like to work on it. Would it be possible for you to upload more information about the problem like
1. Your Perl environment settings. I could have the same environment at my location to reproduce the problem.
2. Perl Module: It would be good to have the perl module which showed this problem. I hope you would be able to share it.
Thanks and Regards,
Prasad

Hello.
No, I currently don't work on the problem. I've attached configs of gcc-built perl 5.16 and perl 5.10 built by Sun Studio. It doesn't matter what module you trying to build (you can try, for example, XML-Simple), just set CC to gcc and use makemaker to generate build file. I worked around this problem by explicitly setting makemaker arguments on command line.

Attaching the patch which should fix this problem. However, I am not very sure if this should at all be fixed.
As far as I can think, CW was added as to map Sun Studio switches to possible GCC switches. This feature requests a to add few switches, which are specific to GCC.

This isn't the way to fix perl, especially since we already have perlgcc (see http://search.cpan.org/~aburlison/Solaris-PerlGcc-1.3/pod/perlgcc.pod) in illumos gate. Somewhere along the line we must have broken support for building the perl modules with perlgcc (probably when most of the perl stuff was ripped out) but it looks pretty simple to fix. I'll see if I can knock out a patch.

I've updated the title to reflect what I think the real problem is. I will update the webrev with feedback from Igor when I get some free cycles and then put it up for review.
