>Description:

Whilst earlier versions of Perl worked correctly on IRIX, the latest fails it's 
BASE tests.

Running the perl binary from the build directory results in:

netbsd@octane /usr/bsd/var/tmp/lang/perl5/work/perl-5.8.8 # ./perl

1226469:./perl: rld: Fatal Error: this executable has unresolvable symbols

>How-To-Repeat:

This binary was built with PKG_OPTIONS.perl="-threads"... with threading 
enabled, there were actually less unresolvable symbols - but still 4 or 5.
>Fix:

What was changed from the last revision to the current?

I can't see anything significant in the Makefile (I thought that changing 
whether "-Duseshrplib" from 1.130 to 1.131 (5.8.8r5) might have been the issue 
- but this change only affects Darwin) - so I assume that the change must be 
within another of the package files, or the source itself?

The latest version I had installed which worked was perl-5.8.8nb6.
