Aha! 

Err.. with swig 1.3 I get:

swig -perl5 -shadow  -I../include -I../src -I../lib -o hamlibperl_wrap.c hamlib.swg

and a bit further down:

These files are in /usr/lib/perl/5.8.0/CORE, the gcc line is

I saw you have hardcoded the perl path in bindings/Makefile.am, should we check
the path in configure.ac?

Sorry Stephane, I am not a libtool guru (yet), but I think the debian-user
or debian-devel mailing lists would be a good place to ask. Did you look at
/usr/share/doc/swig1.3-examples/test-suite/dynamic_cast.i (just a thought)??
