Trying to build perl-5.10.1-RC1 with ActivePerl/MinGW-5.1.4.1.ppd supplied gcc version 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3), aborts the build with a segfault for generate_uudmap.exe. I've built bleadperl with the same setup; generate_uudmap also segfaulted, but that didn't stop the build from completing successfully. There is no problem building perl-5.10.1-RC1 with strawberry perl supplied gcc version 3.4.5 (mingw special).

There are very few test failures, nothing serious

The same test fails in bleadperl :)

Some tests are skipped because they use shell redirection without escaping 

../ext/IO-Compress/t/050interop-gzip.t ........................... 'C:
+\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, opera

My firewall complains that these tests want to listen on 0.0.0.0 

../ext/IO/t/io_multihomed.t

Many others tests listen on 127.0.0.1 without problems :)
