Description:
The imagemagick PKGBUILD contains 'LIBS="$LIBS -L/usr/lib/perl5/core_perl/CORE -lperl"' which causes some libraries to link with libperl.so without inheriting the rpath.

This should either be replace with LIBS="$LIBS $(perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts)" or simply removed. I rebuilt imagemagick without that line, it didn't link to libperl.so anymore, yet still passed all tests and the perl module is also functional.

Sadly the commit[1] that introduced this doesn't say what was broken.

I don't think the LIBS= line is needed at all. This is causing the "coder" and "filter" modules (.so's) to link with libperl.so.

FTR, the problem was undefined synmbols in the perl module (ldd -r). I'll see if it's still needed.

The perl module should only be loaded by perl itself so this should never be an issue.
