If I'm compiling with gcc, wouldn't I be linking with an associated linker?
Otherwise I guess it's the std linker distributed with UnixWare 7.  The other
stuff I compile links fine.

I read thru the man page for ld - but there's a bunch of stuff I don't
understand!  I noticed that it takes notice of the environment variable
LD_LIBRARY_PATH in addition to the -L entries.  I unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH in case
it was getting in the way - no joy.

I also notice that make sets up 2 -L/usr/gnu/lib/perl5/i386-svr4/5.00404/CORE
entries before -lperl.  I tried removing one - but no change.

I added the -V option to LDFLAGS in the Makefile.global and got

gcc: invalid version number format

where I previously got

UX:ld: ERROR:  fatal error: library not found: -lperl

Guess that says gcc isn't totally happy with my linker?

Suggestions?
