A couple of problems have been noted at patchlevel 36 so far.  First, the
selection of -lm has been moved from the Makefile into Configure.
Unfortunately, if you already have a config.sh out there, it selects
the libraries you specified previously, which doesn't include -lm.  The
result is undefined symbols like pow(), etc.  Add -lm by hand at the
libraries prompt of Configure, or delete config.sh before running
Configure.  Or edit config.sh at the end and add -lm to $libs.

The other problem is on machines that only support old dbm, there is a
reference to a new dbm function call at line 405 in hash.c.  As a
workaround, you can throw in a 

	#define dbm_nextkey(d, k) nextkey(k)

into perl.h where the other dbm defines are.

If this is all that goes wrong, I'll be a happy man.
