in thread Perl 5.10.1 RC1 released for testing

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.

This problem seems to arise for some builds of MinGW but not others - the version of the mingw-runtime being used seems to be the most likely culprit. In the win32/makefile.mk you'll find the line: 
LIBC        = -lmsvcrt

Does it help if you comment out that line ? (Comment out with a '#' same as for perl.)
There's a recent thread on p5p where that fix did work - but I'm not sure it's exactly the same problem.

Cheers,
Rob

    Yes, that helps building under ActivePerl/MinGW-5.1.4.1.ppd.

      Which begs the question "Why does it make a difference ?" (I don't know the answer.)

        Me neither. I tried comparing (diff -ruN), and noticed binutils versions are different (but you knew that), but that doesn't explain it
