I get the following errors running the testsuite: cmd/for........FAILED on test 1 op/time........FAILED on test 5 lib/bigint.....FAILED on test 61 lib/bigintpm...FAILED on test 7 Failed 4/90 tests, 95.56% okay. None of these were present when compiled with gcc 2.6.2 on a 950210 machine. The 2.6.2-compiled perl5 also fails now. I noticed this when running the cmd/for test: % /usr/local/bin/perl for.t 1..7 #1 :10: eq :10: #1 :0. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10: eq :0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10: not ok 1 ok 2 ok 3 ok 4 ok 5 ok 6 ok 7 The first loop prints out a "0." instead of a "0". This anomaly also caused gcc to fail when compiling the extension modules (because perl was generating array subscripts with 0. instead of 0). Anyone have a gcc 2.6.2/pre-950322 machine to test this? -- Brian ("Though this be madness, yet there is method in't") Tao taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw <-- work ........ play --> taob@io.org
