Hmm, I don't know.  Well, look in the patch, I added only one flag.
At the top of the patch are the linenumbers and the name of the file,
here lib/Makefile.in, and probably line 90, add '-no-undefined' like it is
in the patch, thats it.

Looks like this then (all in one line please):
LINK = $(LIBTOOL) --mode=link  $(CCLD) -no-undefined -version-info $(LIBCURRENT):$(LIBREVISION):$(LIBAGE) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@

It isn't, but the expat coders have a bug in the sources so it will fail
to build with a .dll, the bug was reported several times now, but they
don't release a new version...

You will also need expat.  Probably there will be some more trouble as
usual.

The modules need to be compiled with the same compiler as perl was.
