PR pkg/28498



Hi, the hack for this problem has been noted as fixed for perl 5.10, but in
pkgsrc-2010Q3, it's still there... Perhaps someone should think of us alpha
owners and remove the hack.

This caused me some nasty issues where simply passing '-1*(100**1000)' to perl
would produce a SIGFPE, and that's not very good when a lot of modules use the
above to get negative infinity. Compiling perl with -mieee fixes this.

### [Fri Dec 10 18:46:19 EST 2004 : jlam]
### On NetBSD/alpha, building perl with -mieee causes perl to not pass
### the test for integer.pm (pkg/28498).  Until this is fixed in either
### NetBSD, GCC or perl, strip out -mieee from the compiler command
### line.

.if !empty(CC_VERSION:Mgcc*) && !empty(MACHINE_PLATFORM:MNetBSD-*-alpha)
PKG_HACKS+=             alpha-mieee
BUILDLINK_TRANSFORM+=   rm:-mieee
.endif
