perl 5 extensions on AMD64

[David Bremner]

I have just discovered (Hi Kris!) that a port I made does not work 
on AMD64

A quick look at the bento error logs reveals several p5-* ports with the same 
fatal error

c -O -pipe -fpic -DPIC -shared -Wl,-x,-soname,libplperl.so.0 plperl.o eloglvl.o SPI.o -L../../../src/port -Wl,-E  -L/usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/mach/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a -L/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/mach/CORE -lperl -lm -lc -lcrypt -lutil  -R/usr/local/lib -o libplperl.so.0

To this non-expert observer, that suggest that the perl 5 extension
mechanism is not working write on AMD64.  Can anyone point to a 
p5-* port, that 

	1) works on AMD64
	2) makes a shared library for an extension.


(oh, same question for IA64 I guess, although I have not trawled the
logs).
