Guess I should forward this from ports to current... apologies to
those who will be seeing this twice.

Subject: Perl 5.001
Just finished building and testing perl 5.001 with all extensions
on my 950322-SNAP machine. 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?
