perl 5.002_01: hints/dynixptx.sh

Add hints file for Dynix/ptx 4; Configure doesn't yet recognize
it, but will soon (mod Andy's schedule), and offers it in the
list of possibilities now.

+# Sequent Dynix/Ptx v. 4 hints

+# Use Configure -Dcc=gcc to use gcc.
+
+# cc wants -G for dynamic loading
+lddlflags='-G'
+
+# Remove inet to avoid this error in Configure, which causes Configure
+# to be unable to figure out return types:
+# dynamic linker: ./ssize: can't find libinet.so,
+# link with -lsocket instead of -l inet

+libswanted=`echo $libswanted | sed -e 's/ inet / /'`

+# Configure defaults to usenm='y', which doesn't work very well
+usenm='n'
+
+# The Perl library has to be built as a shared library so that dynamic
+# loading will work (otherwise code loaded with dlopen() won't be able
+# to reference symbols in the main part of perl).  Note that since
+# Configure doesn't normally prompt about $d_shrplib this will cause a
+# `Whoa there!'.  This is normal, just keep the recommended value.  A
+# consequence of all this is that you've got to include the source
+# directory in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH when you're building and testing
+# perl.

+
+If you get a 'Whoa there!' with regard to d_shrplib, you can ignore
+it, and just keep the recommended value.
+
+If you wish to use dynamic linking, you must use
+   LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+or
+   setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH `pwd`
+before running make.
