Hi Guys,

I am trying to create a perl embeded application which expose WWW::Mechanize into my Cython extension project. I compile and link my extension using: 

x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -g -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fPIC -I/usr/lib/perl/5.18/CORE -I/usr/include/python3.4m -I/home/losintikfos/git/testproj/env/include/python3.4m -c src/perlxsi.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.4/src/perlxsi.o -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -Wl,-E -fstack-protector -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/perl/5.18/CORE -lperl -ldl -lm -lpthread -lc -lcrypt -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DDEBIAN -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/lib/perl/5.18/CORE

x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -g -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fPIC -I/usr/lib/perl/5.18/CORE -I/usr/include/python3.4m -I/home/losintikfos/git/testproj/env/include/python3.4m -c src/perlmechanize.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.4/src/perlmechanize.o -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -Wl,-E -fstack-protector -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/perl/5.18/CORE -lperl -ldl -lm -lpthread -lc -lcrypt -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DDEBIAN -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/lib/perl/5.18/CORE

x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -shared -Wl,-O1 -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro -g -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.4/src/perlxsi.o build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.4/src/perlmechanize.o build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.4/src/pymechanize.o -lperl -o build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.4/pymechanize.cpython-34m.so

Which works fine. My problem is - when I import calls from my extension module pymechanize.cpython-34m.so I get below error: 

Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl/5.18.2/auto/Encode/Encode.so' for module Encode: /usr/local/lib/perl/5.18.2/auto/Encode/Encode.so: undefined symbol: PL_utf8skip at /usr/share/perl/5.18/XSLoader.pm line 68.

For almost two weeks now I have tried various options - including reinstalling Encode.pm but to no luck. I can see the symbol is there when I do: 

nm /usr/local/lib/perl/5.18.2/auto/Encode/Encode.so | grep PL_utf8skip

Do anyone know what might be causing this?
