Re: Bug in Makefile.shlib

Well, Tom and Larry,

I've posted already on -hackers but my posts did'nt semm to get through!

The problem is that at link time, ld complains about text segment beeing
written to in Dynaloader.

The only way was to remove -Wl,-z text.

I agree this sounded stupid. But I can't think of something else.
This is with perl-5.6.1 FWIW
