Sorry, I forgot this interesting make error message:

Makefile:141: warning: overriding commands for target `libperl.a'
Makefile:136: warning: ignoring old commands for target `libperl.a'

This is the content of the Makefile (maybe something is off by one,
but the point is that LIBEXT=a leads to a duplicate rule and the wrong
rule wins.

    135 libperl.a: $(MP_OBJS)
    136         $(MP_RM) $@
    137         $(MP_AR) crv $@ $(MP_OBJS)
    138         $(MP_RANLIB) $@
    139 
    140 libperl.$(LIBEXT): $(MP_OBJS_PIC)
    141         $(MP_RM) $@
    142         $(MP_LD) $(MP_LDFLAGS_SHLIB) -o $@ $(MP_OBJS_PIC) $(MP_LIBS)
    143
