I compiled Perl 4.036 on netbsd-0.9 (configured: i386, all
questions from configure answered with defaults) and got only a
few warnings.
But "make test" failed in a random manner, i.e. every run resulted in
different errors:
"exp" in test1 and "regexpr" in test41 failed everytime,
in the first run failed additionally
"array" in test1, "dbm" in test2,
in the second run
"dbm in test1, "big" in test0,
etc.
The machine is an AMD386DX.
Similar on a different machine (i386SX).
