Subject: 02-xsdynamic.t fails when Perl built with -flto in both CFLAGs and LDFLAGS

Eumm was bumped to 7.30 in Perl 5.27.1 , and from then on, Perl's test suite has been failing when compiled with -flto

Similarly, if Perl 5.24.2  is compiled with -flto,  EUMM 7.30 will fail tests.

I have a travis driven test of Perl 5.27.2 that shows this failure:


https://travis-ci.org/gentoo-perl/perl-patchset/jobs/255798327#L4640

And I have a weekly cron-triggered build of blead that will go green with this is fixed in Perl.

And I have attached an example of this failure on  Perl 5.24.2

I'm guessing the literal control characters in the tests STDOUT is to blame:

Those "^@" sequences  are "as displayed by less". So, we have some additional fun with the tests emitting literal chr(0) .

Tested, bug starts in 7.25_05 , so the failure is either:

 

https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/commit/132ae79fd88aa31753ad8cdc179d1815a87d5a46

 

https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/commit/982f991c7f564f3e40e3f57c1f7090a5d1763611

The error looks like the same one in https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/pull/278  albiet slightly different.

Issue is still present in 7.31_03
