(For the porters: the bug is that this:
% perl -le '$^E = -1728; print $^E+0 for 0,1'
Should return this:
-1728
-1728
But in some cases, returns this:
-1728
22
Odd.)

I am building with the defaults, not with anything in particular.

Differences I see off the bat:
usethreads
useithreads
usemultiplicity
-g for ccflags
ld (though mine is right, RC3's is wrong, I believe)
useshrplib (though I did it both ways, with and without)
Using your exact config_args from RC3, I get the proper values. Lessee ...
I know it is not -g or useshrplib. Trying with only '-ds -e
-Duseithreads': yep, now I get the proper values. But I don't want threads.
But trying to dig deeper, I'll try enabling usemultiplicity on its own:
nope, that gives me the same bug.
So, it looks like if I turn on ithreads, it is fine. If not, it isn't. I
have no idea WHY it would be the case, and I really wish it weren't, as I
really don't want to have threads, if I can avoid it (unless I am just
being ignorant: last I heard, a threaded perl still had trouble with
mod_perl). But there's gotta be a bug here, regardless.
Anyone, a little help? :)
