Mmmmh, strange.

I'm sure you didn't start with a clean distribution. You
have to "make realclean" before

otherwise only the XS part will be rebuilt with debugging
enabled, all the C files won't be compiled again, which
results in exactly the error message you've got. Sorry
I didn't mention this in my first reply, but I'm so used
to making realclean all the time...

No, unfortunately that doesn't help very much. I still
don't have the slightest clue what's going wrong. There's
a file called "eval.c" in the preprocessor part of my module,
but line 36 is
#include "mem.h"
which obviously doesn't call strtol(). I've found 4 locations
in my code where strtol() is actually called, but none of them
should be reached at the time where the test crashes.
I guess the strtol() isn't called directly from my code.
Unfortunately I don't have access to a PPC-Linux system to make
the tests on my own. So maybe you could do the following:
* cleanup the distribution
make realclean
* build with debugging support and symbols
perl Makefile.PL enable-debug OPTIMIZE=-g && make
* run the test script in GDB, create debug output and backtrace
gdb perl
...
> run -Mblib t/103_warnings.t debug all >debug.out 2>&1
...
> bt
If that works, please send me the "debug.out" and the output
of the GDB session.
Thanks again!
