It would be nice to know why not, though. Hmmm. Maybe your locale
configuration is somehow better (as in, you have some working locales
installed) than the out-of-the-box one? (If my theory about the
combination of PerlIO and locales being the cause of the core dump is
correct, the core dump should be avoidable by setting LC_ALL to C
before starting to build Perl.)

Now, I can't see how that could fail. Either $ARGV[0] is set in which
case $config_pm should be set to it, or it is not, in which case
$config_pm should be set to 'lib/Config.pm'. Or, a distant and
improbably third, somehow the gcc has compiled a completely broken
Perl (so broken than even basic syntax is broken). That would suck.
