| Subject: | Socket-2.009's Makefile.PL doesn't discover that inet_aton isn't available on Solaris |
Our Solaris builds of Socket-2.009 create a module that fails like this:
$ perl -MSocket=inet_aton -e 'inet_aton("localhost")'
ld.so.1: perl-static: fatal: relocation error: file /tmp/perl/lib/auto/Socket/Socket.so: symbol inet_aton: referenced symbol not found
Solaris provide inet_aton() in libresolv.so, but that library isn't linked by perl by default.
I tracked the problem to the Sun C compiler optimizing "void *p = &inet_aton; (void)p;" in the test program away. This means that this program compiles and links even if the inet_aton symbol isn't provided. I attached a patch that fixes the problem.

Subject: [PATCH] The Sun C compiler optimizes "void *p = &inet_aton; (void)p;" away.
Which means that this program compiles and links even if the inet_aton symbol
isn't provided.
