Subject: Perl 4.036 on NetBSD 0.8 (386, no 387)

Last weekend I picked up a 386-40 and have been busily bringing up
NetBSD 0.8 on it. I'm quite impressed -- a hearty thanks to all who
obviously put a lot of work into this project.
After porting jove (well, enough to be usable if not pretty) my first
project was bringing up Perl, 4.036 to be precise. Configure bombed
with a bizarre syntax error, so I put that on hold until after I had
built bash and installed that as /bin/sh, as others have mentioned.
I then returned to Perl's Configure, which now worked just fine. I
took all the defaults except for directories (e.g. /usr/local/lib) and
requesting Perl's malloc.
The compile went fine except for a few type mismatces, which appeared
to be innocuous, and running out of virtual memory on teval.c, which
was easily dealt with by changing cflags to omit the -O flag on the
compile of that module.
Alas, several of the tests failed. The first was trivil: op/dbm tests
2 and 9 failed because no .pag file was created (nor is there a .dir
file, though the test didn't care that the unlink failed). Instead
there is a .db file. Fine.
The other was lib/big.t, which rather spectacularly failed 42 out of
its 246 tests. I looked at it a bit but the problem isn't immediately
obvious. Does anyone have an idea what the problem is, and how I
might go about fixing it? I've attached the output from this test in
case it's of any help.
BTW, I do *not* have a 387, though if this was a problem I would have
expected some of the other tests to fail too.
