Thanks for the reply. I am still confused as to 

a) why then my libdbd-odbc-perl does not work (see the bug report from the
Subject: line) -- the submitter also claims that rebuilding on a 5.6.0
system works as I had conjectured, and 

b) what I am going to do with the bug report?  Recompile the package and be
done with it?  Or is there something else at stake?

Regards, Dirk
