Has anyone got perl 4.010 to compile under Esix 3.2 Rev D?  I have been at it
for 2 days now, and I am no further ahead.

The problem is seemingly twofold: the standard cc breaks on doio.c (several
lines, all involving a declaration in a code block), and gcc makes it
generate code that causes an immediate floating point exception right after
I type 'make test'.

Does anyone have it working?  Can you e-mail me and enlighten me if you do?
It would be much appreciated.
