Since I just got Machi386 up and running on my 386 system, and
am doing different things to check it out, one of the things I
decided to do was to ftp Perl over from the Sun (checking out
the ftp capability, among other things) and see how well it
would do under Mach.

Things seemed to go pretty well, but when it got to the point
of doing (during the "make") a "ldbm -lm -o perl" I got a couple
of error messages and and *** Exit 1 from make.

The error messages were:

seekdir.o: Undefined symbol _DONT_USE_SEEKDIR_UNDER_MACH referenced
           from text segment
telldir.o: Undefined symbol _DONT-USE-TELLDIR_UNDER_MACH referenced
	   from text segment

Just out of curiousity (in the sense that I'm not particularly
concerned whether Perl runs under Machi386 or not, since I use it
on the Sun anyway), is there an easy way around this??
