Re^2: 64-bit build fails numeric tests

Thank you for finding that. I really did try.

From this line it appears that one cannot build 64-bit Perl on Solaris using gnu tools. Am I reading that correctly?

I read it as saying there are known issues associated with Solaris builds with gcc. Past that is outside my experience. Note that the error you are reporting is that when numifying strings, they are being returned as floats instead of doubles. The specific error referenced above, however, pertains to long doubles. To me, this sounds more like an inconsistent build - 32 bit numification routines interacting with a 64 bit perl - thus my question about missing a line in your modification.	[reply]
