In reference to a message from LaMont Jones, dated Sep 03: > Bug #158290 talks about an issue with gcc 3.0 on hppa. Specifically, > building perl 5.8 with -O2 fails tests, while -O1 works. > > Any thoughts on the subject? mawk also suffers from the same ailment. bod tells me that with gcc-3.2 this problem seems to go away for perl. i just tested mawk with gcc-3.2 and it's ok there too... just another data point :) randolph
