Running CPAN.pm trying to "(n)make test" on Scalar-List-Utils-1.18, on [http://pxperl.com|PXPerl with MinGW's port of gcc 3.2.3, I get the following output (I stripped the irrelevant stuff, like listing the contents of the archive):

I believe this is one of the functions from perl58.lib that is supposed to be available for the linker, but for some reason, it isn't. I've seen the same behaviour, for different symbols, in other modules. What's really weird is that this module, obviously, builds succesfully on other platforms. So, what's going on?D:/PXPerl/.cpan/build/Scalar-List-Utils-1.18/Util.xs:333: undefined re +ference to `Perl_seed'
I've tried the same test build on ActivePerl 5.8.8 with MinGW. (Yes I know ActivePerl 5.8.8 comes with Scalar-List-Utils-1.18. This is just a test, mmmkay?) Now the results there are really puzzling.

and further up, it contains the lineif ($^O eq "MSWin32" && !find_prog(_orig_conf("cc"))) {
In ActiveState::Path, find_prog is a plain and simple Perl sub. Both these modules seem to work normally, when I invoke them from the command line. Nothing weird in either. Neither depend on the module that I'm trying to build, which could have been a possible explanation. And yes, other XS modules appear to build normally.use ActiveState::Path qw(find_prog realpath);
I'd like some hints as to what is going on, and maybe get some help to construct proper bug reports.
