Description (Last modified by brecht)

This is required to build a copy of Perl for BONE with dynamically linked extensions.

First try to build with other versions of GCC (differences in linking?)

Ingo: The only thing that the flock() support changes is defining close() to flock_close() and dup2() to flock_dup2(). After a little communication with the server, the flock_*() versions just call the original functions.

You could try not to link against libflock.so, but keep the macro definitions in place, and define the flock_*() functions (in beos.c) to call the close()/dup2() directly. Then you'd at least learn, if the macro definitions screw things up.
