> perl.c: In function `perl_construct': > perl.c:257: error: syntax error before '}' token > make[1]: *** [perl.o] Error 1 Update: This does no longer happen with the new perl_5.8.2-1, but now there are problems with threads, so I'm considering to ask the perl maintainer to disable threads temporarily for GNU/Hurd. After all, "ldd perl" on the perl_5.6.1-7 currently in ftp.debian.org does not show any traces of being compiled with threads.
