Seems to belong to the gcc_s library Crikey ... that's gcc-4.x.x ! I thought the MinGW installer was still installing gcc-3.x.x. (I didn't think to check my gcc-4 installation.)
I guess I should've checked earlier but, Morne, what does
gcc -dumpversion produce ?
Thanks for digging that up,
almut ... now we just have to work out how it relates to the problem the OP is having.
Afterthought: Morne, are there any other installations of gcc on your computer ? (I'm wondering if there's a second gcc installation that's interfering with the build process. I personally don't have any problem with either gcc-3 or gcc-4 wrt the building of perl-5.10.1 from source.)
Cheers,
Rob
