Hey,

I'm reaching the limits of my sanity. I can't get Math::Pari to compile on a Pentium II Linux (Mandrake 8) box. It seems to be breaking on some assembler instructions.

I get the following error when trying to compile the pari lib part: 

cd libPARI && make LIB="" LIBPERL_A="libperl.a" LINKTYPE="dynamic" PRE
+FIX="/usr" OPTIMIZE="-O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mcpu=pentiumpro 
+-march=i586 -ffast-math"

Strangely enough I can get this module to compile on two other boxes. The module would not compile on one of those boxes for about a week and a half. I tried it after a few days of not thinking about the problem and it just worked.

These boxes are the same architecture and the compilers are in the gcc 2.96.* range.

Does anybody have any ideas or experience with getting Math::Pari to compile?

Thanks.
