Are you aware of http://people.debian.org/~tbm/logs/gcc-4.1/perl_5.8.8-3_20060317-1227 ? It's one of Martin's test builds with gcc 4.1 on mips that shows the same failure in the test suite as in the latest official builds on mips and hppa. There's no info about the kernel used at that time, but to me it looks more like the failure is caused by a change in behaviour of gcc 4.1. (That's not to say that gcc is to blame. It might still be a wrong assumption in perl or a bug in the testsuite.) Regards, Daniel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
