This bug appears to have been fixed in July. remake: 5.8.4-4, failed (12 test failures) http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=perl&ver=5.8.4-4&arch=mipsel&stamp=1099771004&file=log&as=raw remake: 5.8.4-4, failed (12 test failures) http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=perl&ver=5.8.4-4&arch=mipsel&stamp=1101291814&file=log&as=raw
repeat.rfc822.org: 5.8.4-5, failed (12 test failures)
Presumably the same machine as remake...

So it appears to me that this FTBFS bug filed against remake can be
closed, as the machine in question has been either rebuilt or retired.
I haven't actually done anything to this bug as there may be more going
on here than I'm aware of, but from what I can see this isn't a bug in
perl, but an issue with the buildd that has since been solved.
(If remake and repeat are seperate machines, then there's at least
something repeatable across machines here.)
If it was/is an issue with the buildd, then the 12-test failure first
appears in 5.8.4-2.2 on 2004-09-07, and last appears 2005-03-08, and the
t/op/fork test failure first appears 2005-06-07 and was last seen
2005-07-11 (and a rebuild 10 hours later on the same machine didn't
fail, so if this was an issue, it may have been fixed that day?)
(The 12 tests failing earlier don't include t/op/fork, BTW)
