+If you are going to use the HP DCE package, the library used for threading
+is /usr/lib/libcma.sl, but there have been multiple updates of that
+library over time. Perl will build with the first version, but it
+will not pass the test suite. Older Oracle versions might be a compelling
+reason, not to update that library, otherwise please find a newer version
+in one of the following patches: PHSS_19739, PHSS_20608, or PHSS_23672

+If you are not depending on this specific version of the library,
