This Perl version includes s static version of Zlib. Better to link
against the system Zlib? I think so. More info here (and in the followup):

The above post also refers to a test failure in the Syslog module. You're
not seeing that?

Umm, that patch was only needed for perl-5.8.x, not 5.10.x And it was due
to kernel headers, not GCC.

Ah, that explains why no test failure :-( Not good when the fix is known,
committed upstream and available.
