Just to advice you about a problem with IA64 gcc-3.2.3-47 and perl-5.8.7, that seems to be well known, but not mentionened in your README's. The problem shows during compilation as: ./miniperl -Ilib lib/lib_pm.PL Attempt to free unreferenced scalar: SV 0x6000000000034d00 at lib/lib_pm.PL line 1. Attempt to free unreferenced scalar: SV 0x600000000003c7c0 at lib/File/Basename.pm line 138. Attempt to free unreferenced scalar: SV 0x600000000003c7c0 at lib/File/Basename.pm line 142. Attempt to free unreferenced scalar: SV 0x6000000000065680 at lib/warnings.pm line 134. Attempt to free unreferenced scalar: SV 0x600000000003c7f0 at lib/File/Basename.pm line 143. Attempt to free unreferenced scalar: SV 0x6000000000042980 at lib/Exporter/Heavy.pm line 3. make: *** [lib/lib.pm] Segmentation fault The workarounds are: 1. Upgrade gcc to gcc-3.2.3-50 or later 2. Compile pp_ctl.c, pp_hot.c and pp_sort.c using -O1 3. Compile pp_ctl.c, pp_hot.c and pp_sort.c using -O2 and -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks I have tried workaround 3 on both 5.8.6 and 5.8.7 and it works fine. Maybe you should consider er README.ia64 with this information?
