Bug#752354: perl: trivial test C program fails to compile

[Niko Tyni]

Package: perl
Version: 5.20.0-1
Severity: important
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.20-transition

This is a regression from 5.18 and makes xchat-gnome drop
its libperl linkage because its autoconf probe fails.

  % cat perltest.c 
  #include <XSUB.h>
  #include <EXTERN.h>
  #include <perl.h>
  int main() { return 0; }
  % gcc $(perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts) perltest.c
  /tmp/ccN3C0Sz.o: In function `S_croak_memory_wrap':
  perltest.c:(.text+0x5): undefined reference to `PL_memory_wrap'
  perltest.c:(.text+0x14): undefined reference to `Perl_croak_nocontext'
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

The severity should arguably be 'serious'.
