I have not long finished building LFS 8.4 using LFS 8.0 as the host (+stuff from BLFS). This is my only system and it is doing everything I need it to. I had no problems in the build that weren't my own fault. Most of the BLFS things were built on the running 8.4 (NOT in the chroot) I have had no reason to rebuild perl, but after watching this conversation for a while I have tried it out, and yes, I get segfaults. Some of the messages (in sys.log) even quote "Storable.so", so you are probably right about that. Given that, it is easier to try building just Storable (you have to do it after running Configure and make for the full build): cd dist/Storable perl Makefile.PL make The segfaults show up, and the output of the make includes Storable: determining recursion limit: 65000 too big, try less 32550 ... Storable: determining recursion limit: 32550 too big, try less 16325 ... Storable: determining recursion limit: 16325 passed, try more 24437 ... Storable: determining recursion limit: 24437 too big, try less 20381 ... and more of the same - each "too big" is a segfault (there seem to be a couple extra which I haven't tracked down) and THEY ARE DELIBERATE, the limits determined by this process are used to stop Storable from segfaulting at runtime. The design (and purpose) of Storable mean that it will sometimes need deep recursion. Obviously the number of segfaults you get will depend on memory, the kernel and I don't know how many other things, but there is no need to worry about them, move on.
