No, perl-xml-libxml is not impacted by this issue. I just checked, and I
get a generated Makefile that contains:
    LDDLFLAGS = -shared -g

I maintain my position: perl-net-ssleay's buildsystem is brain-danaged! ;-)
And François confirmed that in his reply, too. ;-)

If we needed yet another reason why bundling dependencies in one's own
package was just bad, perl-net-ssleay is just that example. ;-)
