Perl is now failing on my jhalfs build of SVN at

Probably something to do with db?
Or is it me?
Reproducible here. the "cd t ; ./perl harness" command says:
../ext/DB_File/t/db-recno...................FAILED tests 87, 91, 94-95, 98
Failed 5/204 tests, 97.55% okay
Rebuilding both Perl and DB after the full LFS doesn't help, because the
DB binaries are identical. So, this failure is not a regression, because
people who rebuild their perl after installing DB in BLFS would suffer
from exactly the same bug. The bug just moved from BLFS to LFS.
The real fix would be to change the package order:
1) Build Perl, tell it to avoid building DB_File (for reinstallations only).
2) Build DB, optionally install the DB_File perl module from there (as
opposed to from perl itself).
The offending test has been reformulated there BTW.
A patch for the book will come shortly.
