At this point the system coredumps and reboots.
Well, sorry, that's too less information for anybody to be able to have
any clue what the root of the problem is and how to solve or workaround
it. You have to dig a little bit deeper yourself here, Doug. The OpenPKG
Foundation has no AIX box available on which we could reproduce the
problem ourself...
Sorry about that, Ralph. I realized how vague this message was right
after I sent it. I'm trying another build now - what files should I be
looking for?
Well, in this case I think you have to look inside the Configure script
of Perl, there for code around the string "Checking for GNU cc in
disguise and/or its version number" and try this code manually on the
command-line to make sure that it still fails. If it's a piece of C
code, compile it with "gcc -g" (debug symbols enabled) and run it with
"gdb" and once it segfaults run "bt". The output of the "bt" command
usually gives us at least a hint where the problem migth be. It could be
also that the vendor GCC has some optimizer problems. In this case try
to compile the piece of C code with and without -O0.

I got around the problem. Not sure exactly what the problem was but this
system was way behind on its patches. I was told it was up-to-date, @
ML9, but it was actually a stock 5.2 build with NO patches.
