Possible fix for Perl failing with ../lib/auto/POSIX/POSIX.so: Undefined symbol "__flt_rounds" on ARM

[Jan Sieka]

Hello Ian!

I tried recently to compile and run Perl 5.12 on ARM (SheevaPlug) using
HEAD from 22.05.2012 and got the following error while trying to run:
/usr/ports/lang/perl5.12 # make test
[...]
../lib/auto/POSIX/POSIX.so: Undefined symbol "__flt_rounds
[...]

After investigating the issue it appeared that __flt_rounds symbol is
not exported by libc. Applying the following patch, recompilling world
and Perl fixed the problem and allowed to use Perl on SheevaPlug:

diff --git a/lib/libc/arm/Symbol.map b/lib/libc/arm/Symbol.map
index e8c7f1d..8cdcdaf 100644
--- a/lib/libc/arm/Symbol.map

        __fixsfsi;

Can you comment whether this is a correct solution?
