When I build 5.10.0, I don't have this problem. In config.h, I have:

Did you run Configure
yes
and does your config.h define HAS_UNION_SEMUN?
if i
./Configure -Dfirstmakefile='GNUmakefile' ...
as usual,
grep HAS_UNION_SEMUN config.h
/* HAS_UNION_SEMUN:
/*#define HAS_UNION_SEMUN / **/
after digging abt in perl src, i note that if i *ADD*
./Configure -Dfirstmakefile='GNUmakefile' ... -Dd_union_semun
then,
grep HAS_UNION_SEMUN config.h
/* HAS_UNION_SEMUN:
#define HAS_UNION_SEMUN /**/
and, subsequent
make
seems happy with that.
so, the question is -- why's it need to be defined on my system, and
not on yours?
did _you_ run Configure? or the default install?
Yes, I run Configure, and it prints:
You have union semun in <sys/sem.h>.
Configure determines this by trying to compile:
----------- try.c -----------
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/sem.h>
int main () { union semun semun; semun.buf = 0; }
------------------------------
What happens when you try to compile the above program?
I forgot to mention that I'm still using the 4.0.1 compiler, while it
looks like you're using the 4.2 compiler. If the above fails to
compile with 4.2, you might try compiling try.c with 4.0.1 just to see
if 4.2 has a bug (though I would think this unlikely).
