The errors during "make test" are only one issue. What bothers me even 
more ist the high runtime of some of the tests (up to several *hours*). 
Finally a "make test" completed on my machine (perl-5.8 compiled without 
optimizations, which isn't a big issue, see my previous mail showing run 
times of one test):

All tests successful.
u=13.8672  s=5.61719  cu=21700.3  cs=2264.12  scripts=666  tests=68469
    36915,89 real     21726,29 user      2278,34 sys

The same tests on Solaris/x86 (processor ~40% faster) only take 12 minutes.
