complains that libcc_s.a is not found, however it is on my `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`
I don't think ld cares about LD_LIBRARY_PATH at compile-time, but I also think LD_LIBRARY_PATH is for dynamic libraries (.so) not static ones (.a)
The real problem is, why your compiler toolchain doesn't know where to find libcc_s.a, which is part of your compiler toolchain.
For example
$ g++ -print-search-dirs
install: c:\mingw\bin\../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.2/
programs: =c:/mingw/bin/../libexec/gcc/mingw32/4.5.2/;c:/mingw/bin/../
+libexec/gcc/;c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.2/../../../../mingw3
+2/bin/mingw32/4.5.2/;c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.2/../../../.
+./mingw32/bin/
libraries: =c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.2/;c:/mingw/bin/../lib
+/gcc/;c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.2/../../../../mingw32/lib/m
+ingw32/4.5.2/;c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.2/../../../../mingw
+32/lib/;c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.2/../../../mingw32/4.5.2/
+;c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.2/../../../;/mingw/lib/mingw32/4
+.5.2/;/mingw/lib/
g++ knows where to find libgcc_s.a
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.2/
C:\MinGW\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.5.2\libgcc_s.a
I don't know where ld keeps such a dir list, but IIRC, it responds to export LDFLAGS= -L/path/to/where/libcc_s/resides
In any case, I doubt this is a perl specific problem, or ExtUtils::CBuilder problem
$ perl -V:ldflags
ldflags='-s -L"c:\perl\5.14.1\lib\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\CORE" -L"C:
+\MinGW\lib"';

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
