Re: -no-undefined

I'm inclined to add "-L$(PERL_INC) -lperl", with "-lperl" determined
from perl -V:libperl, with a special case for cygwin to change
"cygperl5_22.dll" into -lperl.

If the "-no-undefined" flag causes problems, anywhere else, removing
it would be indicated, as it's only needed for Windows. This likely
wouldn't be necessary though.

You could ask on the libtool list if you wanted, but the location of
the library with the missing symbols in it must be given somewhere.

I wondered how the ExtUtils::MakeMaker makefiles handled this problem.
I looked at the source code of the ExtUtils::MM_Win32 module (that's
the module for Windows; other OS's have their makefiles output
differently), but I didn't see anything that could help. A
complication is that we are not running the linker directly, but going
through libtool. In ExtUtils::MM_Win32 the static library is passed
directly as an argument to the linker, but that doesn't work for
libtool. I'm not sure exactly of the reasons, but it gives a warning
looking like

*** Warning: Linking the shared library XSParagraph.la against the
*** static library /usr/lib/libcle.a is not portable!

(That library was chosen randomly.)

The libtool manual does document that library dependencies for a
library should be given with "-l", so doing it that way should be
fine.
