I looked in the Active, Resolved and Rejected queues for
ExtUtils-MakeMaker underneath here: 
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=ExtUtils-MakeMaker.  I
could not locate any ticket with a subject line containing OTHERLDFLAGS.

Was this in fact referred to rt.cpan.org?  Does anyone have any better
information?

Thank you very much.
