Recently irssi started to fail to build with perl enabled with this error:

mkdir -p -- .libs
rm -f .libs/DynaLoader.a
ln -s -Wl,-E -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i686-linux-thread-multi/CORE -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i686-linux-thread-multi/CORE -lperl -lnsl -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lpthread -lc .libs/DynaLoader.a
ln: invalid option -- 'W'
