I just tried to get latest 8.0 and 7.9 from git running on my Ubuntu
8.04.4 development machine running perl 5.8.8 and both fails immediately
with Segmentation fault.
Segfault is odd, as we certainly didn't modify 5.8 binaries.
The revision you mentioned is 7.7, isn't it? I'd only go back in the
straight 7.9 line, or 7.8 if that was breaking already.
I wouldn't be surprised if LMS 8 did use some instruction or Perl
feature which wasn't available in 5.8.8 yet. I remember discussing the
topic a few weeks ago with somebody, as a PR was using a construct which
was experimental in a much more recent Perl, and I didn't want to merge
that.
All that said I'd say 7.9 should still work with Perl 5.8.8. The commit
you mentioned definitely can't be the breaking change, as it's not code
which would be run at startup time.
