I don't see much evidence of a bug in perl here. You are experiencing some kind of failure when using 'libtool'. That tool is not part of the Perl 5 core distribution and so is outside our scope. Can you provide an example of this problem outside of 'libtool'?

I would recommend first trying to understand all the output like this​:

#####
relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
#####

Whatever that is, it's not perl.

Thank you very much.
