In the event that anyone actually read what I wrote closely, there is
an important error.  The LDDLFLAGS and LDFLAGS lines written by
MakeMaker are:

LDDLFLAGS = -G -L/ms/dist/aurora/lib -L/ms/dist/fsf/lib
LDFLAGS = -L/ms/dist/aurora/lib -L/ms/dist/fsf/lib

What I am trying to do is get them re-written to what I wrote above
originally.

LDDLFLAGS = -G -L/ms/dist/syb/lib -L/ms/dist/aurora/lib -L/ms/dist/fsf/lib
LDFLAGS = -L/ms/dist/syb/lib -L/ms/dist/aurora/lib -L/ms/dist/fsf/lib
