I've been trying to compile perl 4.035 with gcc 2.3.1 under A/UX 3.0 with no success.
Actually, it compiles fine (without any errors/warnings) with the hints mentioned in
the FAQ, but it consistently fails the dbm tests (5 and a few others).  Is dbm broken
somehow?  In all cases I've run Configure, selected aux and made the following changes to config.sh and Configure:

1) Removed -B/.... since gcc 2.3.1 apparently does not support (or like) it.
2) Removed __GNUC__ since I would get multiple "__GNUC__ redefined warnings."
3) Installed "fixed" dir.h from jagubox into /usr/include.
4) Used ld flags '-lm -lPW -ldbm -lbsd'.
5) 'Undef'ed d_voidsig.
6) Used the regular malloc (i.e. not the version that comes with perl).
7) Copied cppstdin into /usr/local/bin since the comp/cpp test was complaining about
   not being able to find /usr/local/bin/cppstdin.

Are there any other necessary modifications to successfully compile perl and pass all tests?  Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

On an unrelated topic, is AutoDoubler compatible with A/UX 3.0?  In other words, can
AutoDoubler be used on Mac partitions mounted under A/UX?

Thanks in advance,
