Perl believes it was built on a 4-current machine, using egcs, and not on a 3.x machine using gcc 2.7.2.x, even if one rebuilds it from source (by doing 'make' in src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/). I'm not sure what the exact implications are, but I suspect it affects dynamically loaded modules compiled with the native 3.x compiler. >How-To-Repeat: Just check the output of perl -V on a 3.x system built after 1999/05/02 15:29:42. >Fix: Probably generate a new config file. Depending on the implications (which I'm not yet sure of) an entry in ERRATA.TXT may be in order. I don't really know what to feed perl's Configure with to get the correct config file. sorry. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
