Inline-0.44 fails test on Cygwinperl 5.8.0 (xpstd article)

[somian at adelphia dot net (Soren Andersen)]

Hello Cygwinauts, Perl5-Porters, Ingy,

The current release of Inline.pm won't build for me on the latest
cygwinperl (Gerrit's most recent release, 5.8.0-3). I tried running
'test' from CPAN's shell and then went into manual analysis mode,
produced some output build logs (attached to this message) and found the
failure occurs when a .dll file is not produced.

I see by checking at http://testers.cpan.org/search?request=dist&dist=Inline
that no Cygwin tester is currently tracking Inline (last Cygwin test was
on 0.43).

The attached logs are pretty complete and self-evident so I will only
briefly try to describe what's happening where:

    make[2]: Leaving directory
	`/usr/local/build/cpan/build/Inline-0.44/C/_Inline_test/build/_04perlapi_t_3c76' 

The `chmod' call returns failcode because the file does not exist, and
it clearly does not exist because the linking step to create it isn't
happening (as best I can tell).

Thanks,
