OK, I found back what other module I was having similar problems to: CDB_File

I don't think this is in any way a similar problem to the one with S::L::U-1.18.
Firstly, the errors with CDB_File arise during the 'make' phase. (The S::L::U-1.18 error with AS perl occurs at the 'perl Makefile.PL' stage - a result of the Makefile.PL wanting to 'use inc::Module::Install').
Secondly this error with CDB_File seems to affect every build of Win32 perl. (I don't get the S::L::U-1.18 error with any of the Win32 5.8.8 perls that I have built myself.)

I don't know the solution to the CDB_File error - I get the same error with perl 5.8.4 on Win32, so it has been there for quite some time - probably since 5.8.0. On linux (perl 5.8.8), I find no problem in building CDB_File-0.94, so there's obviously something Win32-specific happening wrt 'Perl_report_uninit'.

Cheers,
Rob
