Problem with "perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts"

- Subject: Problem with "perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts"
I have a package that uses perl itself to configure a makefile to
use perl libraries. The command and its output are
> perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lperl
-s -s -L/usr/local/lib
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-multi/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a
-L/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-multi/CORE -lcrypt
3 observations:
1) The "harmless note" suggests that the perl library is not where expected.
Should it be -lperl5_6_1 or is there a missing link?
2) The -s causes the linker to drop the symbol table [when the command
output is blindly used in a makefile]. Not nice while debugging!
3) why list /usr/local/lib?
While not a show stopper, can this be fixed in future releases?
Thanks.
Pierre
