perl5.38 @5.38.2 fails to build, actually 'test', on PPC Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5.8, because of ld not being able handle -rpath?

Main.log from PPC Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5.8

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

As the message says, -rpath works when targeting 10.5 or later.

The bug is that perl is overriding MacPorts' request to target 10.5 and is instead targeting 10.3:

:info:configure What command should be used to create dynamic libraries? [env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 /usr/bin/gcc-4.2] 

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

This happens in hints/darwin.sh only on Mac OS X 10.3 thru 10.5:

[7-9].*)   # OS X 10.3.x - 10.5.x
   lddlflags="${ldflags} -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup"
   case "$ld" in
       *MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET*) ;;
       *) ld="env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 ${ld}" ;;
   esac
   ;;

There is a patch file, /opt/local/var/macports/sources/nue.de.rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/ports/lang/perl5/files/5.38/avoid-no-cpp-precomp-PR38913.patch:

So it would need an enhancement?
