With -des it fails to build quite spectacularly on FreeBSD 7.0:

 

        Making B (dynamic)
LD_RUN_PATH="" cc -o ../../lib/auto/B/B.so  -Bshareable -L/usr/local/lib B.o     
/usr/lib/crt1.o(.text+0x86): In function `_start':
: undefined reference to `main'
B.o(.text+0x1c): In function `XS_B_threadsv_names':
: undefined reference to `PL_stack_sp'
B.o(.text+0x24): In function `XS_B_threadsv_names':
: undefined reference to `PL_markstack_ptr'

...

and loads more. B is the first dynamic extension it attempts to build. blead's
link looks like this:

gcc  -shared  -L/usr/local/lib -fstack-protector B.o  -o ../../lib/auto/B/B.so 

If I copy hints/freebsd.sh from blead:

All tests successful.
u=0.09375  s=0.0859375  cu=3.35938  cs=4.53906  scripts=187  tests=14810


Given the near "special biologist word" nature of the layout of the hints files
and Configure, it's probably worth copying over all the hints files from blead.


Solaris fails for me because I don't have an ar command. blead is perfectly
happy. I don't know why this is.
