I was able to reproduce this bug on ncp3-alpha5 and am working on it now.

In what version it appeared before?

It would be interesting to see if 5.10.1 perl (no debian patches) would compile and pass the tests? OpenSolaris is more adopted platform these days then it was at 5.8.x time. Yet another data point anyways..

Bug #78: perl source recompilation error http://nexenta.org/issues/78

Author: Dmitry Yusupov Status: New Priority: High Assigned to: Anibal Monsalve Salazar Category: Target version: ncp3-beta1

It reports 29 errors during test cycle. We need to address the errors and figure out why the test cases break on Nexenta.

The Debian package perl 5.10.1-11 (without the Debian patches) doesn't build with ncp3-alpha5 because the macro

__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__

isn't defined.

However, it builds with the attached patch file.

I'll run more test builds of perl 5.10.1-11 tomorrow.

I don't think the perl package from StormOS is affected by this. All the tests seem to pass alright.
