IMO: wrong.
If there is just the runtime dependency as it seems to be in perl,
then there is no need to link against libgdbm.

You are correct. As it happens, I was messing around with this today -- only direct dependencies need to be included on the link line.


No libtool needed for perl.  I changed the hints/cygwin.pl entries
since the symbols needed were not available in libgdbm.dll.a:

Ah. Well, thanks for giving it a shot. Now, back to your regularly scheduled libgdbm-based (not libgdbm3-based) build of perl. <g>
