Need help compiling Perl with gcc

[Keith Cantrell]

Has anybody been able to compile perl version 3.0 patchlevel 44 on an
ISC's version 2.2 using gcc?  And if so what options did you use?  Using
the following options has some serious bad side effects (ie. after
executing the version of perl compiled like this the system would instantly
fill up it's process table, ie. NO MORE PROCESSES, ie. you CAN'T shutdown!!)

CFLAGS = -fpcc-struct-return -DNO_ASM -DDEBUGGING -D__GNUC__ -O
libs = -lnsl_s -lm -lx -lcrypt -ldbm -lcposix

I thought it was caused by gcc not using the correct start up files so I
changed the 'libs =' line to look like:

libs = /lib/crtp1.o /lib/crtn.o -nostdlib -lnsl_s -lm -lx -lcrypt -ldbm \
       -lcposix /usr/local/lib/gcc-gunlib -lc

but that didn't seem to help any.

The reason I tried to add the '-lcposix' is because I was getting undefines
for getc, putc, etc, etc.

As you can tell I was pretty much grasping at straws trying to make it
work, and at the same time, getting more and more nervous every time I had
to hit the BIG RED BUTTON to try something else.

Thanks for any help,

Keith Cantrell

      make sure to post to comp.unix.sysv386.
