in thread Perl-5.22.1 in ARM system

And yet, totally expedient when it comes to Perl.

Not one version of perl I've built in the last 15 years has EVER compiled clean. Never. If I (and others) didn't 'ignore' those failures, we'd never have used perl.

As for investigating and reporting them; that's pointless also. The same test failures have been reported ad nauseum; but unless they also fail on *nix; nothing ever changes.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
