Bug#625634: perl ftbfs with multiarch enabled

[Matthias Klose]

Package: perl
Version: 5.12.3-6
Severity: important
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu oneiric ubuntu-patch

ext/ODBM_File/hints/linux.pl checks for path names, which don't exist anymore 
once gdbm is built for multiarch:


# uses GDBM dbm compatibility feature - at least on SuSE 8.0
$self->{LIBS} = ['-lgdbm'];

# Debian/Ubuntu have /usr/lib/libgdbm_compat.so.3* but not this file,
# so linking may fail
if (-e '/usr/lib/libgdbm_compat.so' or -e '/usr/lib64/libgdbm_compat.so') {
     $self->{LIBS}->[0] .= ' -lgdbm_compat';
}

Note, with a multiarch enabled glibc (with a missing /usr/include/asm), this 
still fails to build, as seen in
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/71070665/buildlog_ubuntu-oneiric-amd64.perl_5.12.3-6ubuntu2_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz
