>Description:
There're 2 bugs in ExtUtils::MakeMaker which prevents it from working correctly.

The first one, reported on CPAN 
(http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=41060) bugs when a Makefile is 
created and write a corrupted Makefile. This one is serious/medium - happens in 
rare cases only (seen 2 times at around 200 perl module builds).

The second one, reported on CPAN 
(http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=41360) bugs always when the 
extension of shared objects or libraries differ from static libraries (AIX, 
HP-UX, ...). This one prevents perl-modules being built against binary 
distributed libraries or some system libraries which doesn't have the expected 
extension.
