I just upgraded a machine from 3.1 to 4.0-stable and it went almost okay
(apart from install-info I had to install libc because I did not have
libc.so.4 needed by install-info) Furthermore perl install went wrong
and I had to manually make perl in all of its subdirs. The problem was
that in config.pm (which is made) there was a release check that failed.
Running make in the perl dir also failed in the first subdir because
make complained about a missing config.h. Doing a manually make config.h
solved the problem in the various subdirs. That was all and apart from these
minor issues, everything worked like a charm.
