Subject: MakeMaker must handle an empty $self->{LIBS} array.
X-Git-Url: http://git.shadowcat.co.uk/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8415bfe009d4d13c8d970b3e09ff685cfe5dc0d2;p=p5sagit%2Fp5-mst-13.2.git

MakeMaker must handle an empty $self->{LIBS} array.

6.52 broke the build on VMS because the Makefile.PL for Time::HiRes
sends C<'LIBS'  => []> to WriteMakefile() and the code to handle that
case was removed in a refactor, so we ended up not linking against
the main perl library (perlshr.exe on VMS).  More details and an
upstream submission of this patch are at:
