I tried to build 5.6.2 on Mac OS X 10.5.2 with this configuration​:

  sh Configure -des -Duseshrplib -Dprefix=/usr/local/perl-5.6.2

It failed during `make` with these errors​:

Now you must run 'make'.

If you compile perl5 on a different machine or from a different object
directory, copy the Policy.sh file from this object directory to the
new one before you run Configure -- this will help you with most of
the policy defaults.

Can't load module File​::Glob, dynamic loading not available in this perl.
(You may need to build a new perl executable which either supports
dynamic loading or has the File​::Glob module statically linked into it.)
at -e line 1
Compilation failed in require at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.

This is odd. miniperl should never be loading File/Glob. Your build log clearly
shows opmini.c was correctly built with the -DPERL_EXTERNAL_GLOB flag.

[ . . . ]

When I tried again without -Duseshrplib, the build succeeded (hence the
configuration information below is about a static Perl).

Is there a pre-existing libperl already installed? If so, then perhaps
we're incorrectly picking up the pre-existing libperl.

If there is no pre-existing libperl, then I speculate the problem may be a
subtle one related to how Mac OS handles name resolution. Specifically,
it looks like it's picking up the version of Perl_ck_glob() from op.o
(which is inside libperl.dylib) instead of the version in opmini.o,
which is linked directly to miniperl. There may be some appropriate
linker flag we can use to suppress that behavior. Or, perhaps, we need
to build miniperl by directly linking against all the objects instead
of linking against libperl.dylib.

Ah, ok. Looking at the differences between 5.6.2's Makefile.SH and
5.10.x's Makefile.SH, it looks like this problem is indeed due to
how Mac OS handles name resolution. As I speciulated previously,

Specifically,
it looks like it's picking up the version of Perl_ck_glob() from op.o
(which is inside libperl.dylib) instead of the version in opmini.o,
which is linked directly to miniperl. There may be some appropriate
linker flag we can use to suppress that behavior. Or, perhaps, we need
to build miniperl by directly linking against all the objects instead
of linking against libperl.dylib.

It looks like bleadperl currently tries both of those things on
different platforms.

It looks to me as if this might work. It simply links miniperl against
the explicit objects, instead of trying to link against libperl.dylib.

I've just run across this with perl 5.8.6 and 5.8.8

I've attached a patch which worked for me -- which is essentially Andy's with the addition of
perl$(OBJ_EXT) to the dependencies.

"To blead" I presume. There's no need, perl >= 5.8.9 works fine.

We probably ought to have a well defined place to record details of
"how to build old versions of perl on new platform versions" for anyone
who is stuck with an old version, for whatever reason, and needs that
information.

Could that go on the refreshed dev.perl.org ? with some other docs,
probably, related to installation and configuration.
