This may be happening because it is not UsingTheRightCompiler. (The right compiler might support this flag.)

hivex: fix perl build using wrong compiler

Fixes: #69913

[mohd-akram (Mohamed Akram)]

This is partially because the perl port doesn't seem to set the correct variables in Config.pm, perhaps because it itself was compiled with the wrong compiler. See perl5.34 -V:

  Compiler:
    cc='/usr/bin/cc'
    ccflags ='-fno-common -DPERL_DARWIN  -pipe -Os   -fno-strict-aliasing -fstack-protector-strong -I/opt/local/include -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV'

That's where that value is coming from.

EDIT: This is apparently deliberate - [f35a2c53331234cc730b090b1b866d4b1702a747/macports-ports].
