This seems to affect RELENG_3 since the MFC of 
$Id: config.SH-elf.i386,v 1.11 1999/05/02 15:29:42 markm Exp $

>Description:

Perl on RELENG_3, after the MFC of 
$Id: config.SH-elf.i386,v 1.11 1999/05/02 15:29:42 markm Exp $
(in directory src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/libperl) uses a bogus config. Perl
believes it was built on a 4-current machine, using egcs, and not on a 3.x
machine using gcc 2.7.2.x, even if one rebuilds it from source (by doing
'make' in src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/). I'm not sure what the exact implications
are, but I suspect it affects dynamically loaded modules compiled with the
native 3.x compiler.

>How-To-Repeat:

Just check the output of perl -V on a 3.x system built after 1999/05/02
15:29:42.

>Fix:
	
Probably generate a new config file. Depending on the implications (which
I'm not yet sure of) an entry in ERRATA.TXT may be in order. I don't really
know what to feed perl's Configure with to get the correct config file.
sorry.
