Setup:
   Perl 4.0 at patch level 3.
   386/33 AMI Motherboard with AMI BIOS.
   AT&T UNIX 3.2.2
   gcc 1.39 (without the COFF patches)

Problem: Using gcc, the compilation proceeds smoothly,
         and I can make perl.  However, it fails
         to run.  Here' what happens with a 'make test':
$ make test
         cd t && chmod +x TEST */*.t
         cd t && (rm -f perl; ln ../perl .) && ./perl TEST </dev/tty
sh: 5242 Floating exception - core dumped
*** Error code -120 (ignored)


When I recompile everything with the stock cc, it works fine.
gcc was installed through the bootstrapping process and
it passed the comparisons of stage 2 of building the compiler.
It was also used to install TeX on this machine successfully,
but could it still be the culprit?

Please send me email about any help/suggestions/ideas/things to
check for, and I'll summarize to the net if there's any interest.
If I haven't posted any relevant information, please let me know.

Thanks!
