Some additional things that have been reported for either perl4 or perl5:
<p>Genix may need to use libc rather than libc_s, or #undef VARARGS.
<p>NCR Tower 32 (OS 2.01.01) may need -W2,-Sl,2000 and #undef MKDIR.
<p>UTS may need one or more of <STRONG>-DCRIPPLED_CC</STRONG>, <STRONG>-K</STRONG> or <STRONG>-g</STRONG>, and undef LSTAT.
<p>If you get syntax errors on '(', try -DCRIPPLED_CC.
<p>Machines with half-implemented dbm routines will need to #undef I_ODBM
<p>SCO prior to 3.2.4 may be missing <EM>dbmclose()</EM>.  An upgrade to 3.2.4
that includes libdbm.nfs (which includes <EM>dbmclose()</EM>) may be available.
<p>If you get duplicates upon linking for malloc et al, say -DHIDEMYMALLOC.
<p>If you get duplicate function definitions (a perl function has the
same name as another function on your system) try -DEMBED.
<p>If you get varags problems with gcc, be sure that gcc is installed
correctly.  When using gcc, you should probably have i_stdarg='define'
and i_varags='undef' in config.sh.  The problem is usually solved
by running fixincludes correctly.
<p>If you wish to use dynamic loading on SunOS or Solaris, and you
have GNU as and GNU ld installed, you may need to add <STRONG>-B/bin/</STRONG> to
your <STRONG>$ccflags</STRONG> and <STRONG>$ldflags</STRONG> so that the system's versions of as
and ld are used.
<p>If you run into dynamic loading problems, check your setting of
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.  Perl should build
