However, VMS is currently failing to build even miniperl, due to its C

It's the same compiler as the Tru64 compiler, but the default options
on the build tools reflect the assumption that all warnings will be
fixed before proceeding.
Wow, it treats warnings as errors? That's... ummm-- can you turn that off?
It is MMK/MMS that treats the warnings as errors.
I usually run with a higher level of warnings enabled on the compiler.
That way it finds other errors, including "legal" code that has a high
probability of having a bug.
I'm testing a patch against blead that should get it building again.
Craig,
Please look at the descrip_mms.template patch that I just sent along.
With out it, the debug listings on VMS are not very useful.
