Hi,
eperl has been broken by the latest Perl upload (5.8.7-5), it now
segfaults on powerpc when loading binary modules:
$ cat tst1
<: use POSIX; :>
$ cat tst2
<: use Test; :>
$ eperl tst1
Segmentation fault
$ eperl tst2
$ ldd eperl
libperl.so.5.8 => /usr/lib/libperl.so.5.8 (0x0fea2000)
...
Basically, eperl runs a Perl interpreter for everything enclosed in
<: ... :> and prints verbatim other parts of text.
According to #328789, recompiling eperl fixes this crash, but I would
like to know why it is broken to make sure that it gets really fixed.
It worked previously:
$ dpkg-deb -x perl-base_5.8.7-4_powerpc.deb FOO
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`/FOO/usr/lib eperl tst1
$
But if I recompile perl-base_5.8.7-4_powerpc.deb on a sid box with the
current toolchain, it segfaults:
$ dpkg-deb -x perl-base_5.8.7-4_powerpc.deb NEW
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`/NEW/usr/lib eperl tst1
Segmentation fault
$
I do not know what to do next, any help is welcome.
Denis
