I'm gradually working my way through the RedHat 7.0 sources rebuilding
everything on an EBSA285 with 32MB, and perl 5.6.0 built last weekend
with no problems. (Yes, this is the first major upgrade this machine
has had since the old mixed redhat 3.0.3/4.0/4.1/4.2 stuff that is
currently on the FTP site).
