When building the 5.8.0 packages, I attempted to enable -Duse64bitall . Unfortunately while this worked fine on the 64bit sparc I was developing the packages on, test builds on i386 and powerpc both failed (in different ways). While this may have been fixed in subsequent releases of either perl or the toolchain, I can't enable it now without breaking the ABI (requiring all XS modules and programs embedding perl to be rebuilt). I'll try again the next time the ABI is going to break (probably 5.10.0, but may be earlier). --bod -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
