O Brethren,

I have a Perl building question, rather than a Perl usage one....

I have a new-to-me server, a dual-Xeon machine running Solaris 10 x86, upon which I am attempting to install Perl 5.10. I am trying to install with ithreads and maximal 64-bitness, using PerlIO, native fork() and native malloc(), but I have also tried disabling threads and 64-bit support to try to solve the problem (though the whole point of compiling my own Perl is to get 64-bitness; most of Solaris 10 x86 is compiled for the lowest possible common denominator).

I'm using a locally bootstrapped gcc 4.3.3, and mostly gnu userspace. I have verified correct operation of the compiler. All goes well up until linking miniperl, at which time the build dumps core:

`sh  cflags "optimize='-O2'" opmini.o` -fPIC -DPERL_EXTERNAL_GLOB opmi

Has anyone else run into this problem before? More importantly, does anyone know a solution?
