I'm not sure it's a bug! See, myldr has a pretty critical block between TAINT and NOTAINT macros. This means that people who rely on the environment for their Perl setup might have trouble running static during installation... but I suspect that they're sort of screwed anyway, because any other thing running in taint mode may similarly break!

Update: on second thought no doubt we can at least issue a warning at build time. Patch coming up...

Update II: Patch follows. Not 100% sure about the wording.
