I have the perl-compiler installed, BUT ...
As i stated in another mailing to this list:

I've also merged unexec into perl as far, as it compiles without errors.
When then using the "dump <LABEL>" command in the source-perl-script,
it dumps fine but when trying to execute the binary-file, bash brings
an error: "Cannot execute binary file".
I'm lost at this point.
Maybe someone can give me a helpful hint or suggestion.
