Bug#636609: perl: FTBFS on hurd-i386

[Pino Toscano]

Package: perl
Version: 5.12.4-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
User: debian-hurd at lists.debian.org
Usertags: hurd

Hi,

currently[1], perl does not compile, because it cannot find the
Berkeley DB library.

The attached patch adds hints for ext/ODBM_File, and improving the
general "gnu" hints, copying a couple of stuff which makes sense from
the linux.pl hints, like the library patch search, the pthread linking
(needed on hurd).
(Most probably the same patch could be applied to perl 5.14 too,
although I have not tested it.)

Thanks,
