Bug#1018289: perl: FTBFS on hurd-i386: NDBM not getting linked against libgdbm-compat

[Samuel Thibault]

Package: perl
Version: 5.34.0-5
Severity: important

Hello,

perl currently FTBFS on hurd-i386: 

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=perl&arch=hurd-i386&ver=5.34.0-5&stamp=1661681924&raw=0

Failed 3 tests out of 2528, 99.88% okay.
        ../ext/NDBM_File/t/ndbm.t
        ../ext/ODBM_File/t/odbm.t
        ../lib/DBM_Filter/t/01error.t


They're all of the same kind:


ext/NDBM_File/t/ndbm ............................................. #   Failed test 'use NDBM_File;'
#   at ../../t/lib/dbmt_common.pl line 20.
#     Tried to use 'NDBM_File'.

dbm_nextkey is properly in libgdbm_compat.so, but NDBM_File.so is not
getting linked against it:

      \

chmod 755 ../../lib/auto/NDBM_File/NDBM_File.so


while on linux ports it looks like that:

rm -f ../../lib/auto/NDBM_File/NDBM_File.so
x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc  -shared -Wl,-z,relro -L/usr/local/lib -fstack-protector-strong  NDBM_File.o  -o ../../lib/auto/NDBM_File/NDBM_File.so  \
   -lgdbm -lgdbm_compat   \


Notably on hurd there aren't the "harmless" messages about -ldbm ; it's
supposed to use -lgdbm_compat, as hinted from hints/linux.pl, sourced
from hints/gnu.pl, but for some reason this isn't working any more?
