This is a bug report for perl from wyant@cpan.org,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.40 running under perl 5.26.1.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]


I was unable to build a default Perl under Haiku r1beta1. The appended patches got me through the build process, though the resultant Perl still has problems -- at least, it is unable to find the .so files build for XS modules.


The patches address two issues:


* The linker was unable to find symbols related to stack protection. I took the lazy way out here and edited Configure to disable stack protection.


* Errno_pm.PL was unable to find errno.h. I believe it has moved since the Haiku functionality was added. The patch looks for it in both the old and new locations.


Specifically, the patches are against commit 912b808cb4fcd596e07f77898c626f5567fbe994


Because of module-loading problems I was unable to run perlbug under the Perl I am reporting on. This report was generated by perlbug for the system perl. I do not know if the Haiku developers are sending you anything, but if they are it supersedes anything I tell you.
