Bug #84588 for PAR-Packer: OSX: incorrect detection of gcc (unsupported option '-static-libgcc')

When I try to install PAR::Packer in Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks, PAR::Packer fails to compile with the default flags. Trace: $ sudo cpan install PAR::Packer CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.34) Reading '/Users/andrew/.cpan/Metadata' Database was generated on Sun, 10 Nov 2013 00:17:02 GMT Running install for module 'PAR::Packer' Running make for R/RS/RSCHUPP/PAR-Packer-1.015.tar.gz CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok (v6.04) CPAN: Time::HiRes loaded ok (v1.9725) Fetching with LWP: ftp://cpan-du.viaverio.com/pub/CPAN/authors/id/R/RS/RSCHUPP/PAR-Packer-1.015.tar.gz CPAN: Digest::SHA loaded ok (v5.71) Fetching with LWP: ftp://cpan-du.viaverio.com/pub/CPAN/authors/id/R/RS/RSCHUPP/CHECKSUMS CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok (v2.048) Checksum for /Users/andrew/.cpan/sources/authors/id/R/RS/RSCHUPP/PAR-Packer-1.015.tar.gz ok CPAN: Archive::Tar loaded ok (v1.82) CPAN: File::Temp loaded ok (v0.2304) CPAN: Parse::CPAN::Meta loaded ok (v1.4404) CPAN: CPAN::Meta loaded ok (v2.120921) CPAN: Module::CoreList loaded ok (v2.76) CPAN.pm: Building R/RS/RSCHUPP/PAR-Packer-1.015.tar.gz *** You have extra Perl library paths set in your environment. Please note that these paths (set with PERL5LIB or PERLLIB) are not honored by perl when running under taint mode, which may lead to problems. This is a limitation (by design) of Perl, not of PAR::Packer; but some of the problems may manifest here during installation. Checking if your kit is complete...
