- These are the same tests that crapped out on me and a few
- others after compiling perl with gcc-2.2.2 on Sparcs. There
- seems to be some problem with <varargs.h>. Any chance you
- used GNU's CC? I've been told that you can fix this either
- by not using gcc or by editing config.sh so that i_varargs='undef'.
-
- As an aside, has anybody had any luck reproducing the varargs problem
- in a small piece of code so it can be submitted to gnu.gcc.bug? I'm
- trying to, but all the (simple) varargs code I've come up with on my
- own works fine, and I'm not getting very far poking around in the perl
- source.
