What does that say about the setup?

It's... uh... broken. At least insofar as signals are concerned. :-)

I think signal names are all compiled in when perl is built... so my best guess is that some headers were missing or broken and perl needs to be recompiled. Don't take my word as last on that though. Maybe there is an easier way to fix it.

What version?

"My two cents aren't worth a dime.";

What I think is interesting is its setup for i686 but was cross compiled for the ppc405 system its running on.
