I haven't installed libnsl-devel either, but I still build perl with gcc on Cygwin all the time. However, with the Cygwin perl I am not able to build any module that uses XS code, because it complains about -lnsl. With the perls that I have built myself, I don't have this issue.

You haven't provided the output of "perl -V". libnsl provides NIS (etc) functionality, and generally support for RPC. It appears you are using a Perl built to require libnsl. EUMM doesn't, and shouldn't, edit the libs information that Perl's config has, to remove stuff. Have you tried either installing libnsl, or building a new Perl and forcing it to not need libnsl? Given that what's failing is a -l, rather than a -I, I speculate you need not the -devel variant, only the actual libraries.

This regression is a consequence of https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/pull/353 We may need a different solution for the quadmath problem. Perl's configuration logic is very unhelpful here. Leon

I'm using a perl provided by standard Cygwin perl package that I suppose is common for most Cygwin users. Show quoted text

Those must resolve my test fail, but those are not what I want to do. I hope most Cygwin users get able to make use of perl without troubles and extra works. Show quoted text

Cygwin does not have a package named "libnsl". There is a package "libnsl2" that includes /usr/bin/cygnsl-2.dll, but installing libnsl2 does not resolve this issue.
