Okay, I have recompiled the kernel with DEBUG. I left out DIAGNOSTIC
because that crashes my machine on bootup for no reason that I can see
:(

There are two problems with compiling perl:
this is what I do
cd /usr/pkgsrc/lang/perl5
make

Now here is where I hit a problem. 

`sh  cflags libperl.so toke.o` -DPIC -fPIC toke.c
          CCCMD =  cc -DPERL_CORE -c -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/pkg/include -O2

When it says that, the machine hangs and reboots for no reason. I can
compile toke.c manually with 
cc -DPERL_CORE -c -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/pkg/include -O -o toke.o
toke.c

and then return to /usr/pkgsrc/lang/perl5
and run 'make' again and it just repeats and insists on compile toke.c
again at which point it crashes and dies

If I edit the makefiles to change $optimize to -O, then it bleats about
makefiles being changed and then compiles toke.c all over again. I am no
C coder so I can't figure out why toke.c is freezing up when it uses
-O2. I have also looked for a file that specifies what $optimize to use
but I can't find one :(

I am *really* annoyed with this. Can anyone help me?

Okay I have come to another landmark which I just don't understand. Here
is what happens

4:48 [root]@marie:/usr/pkgsrc/lang/perl5$ make
===> Building for perl-5.6.1nb7
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/pkgsrc/lang/perl5/work/perl-5.6.1 ./miniperl

(reloc type = 12, symnum = 4)
*** Error code 1

Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.

and I have *no* idea of what to do :(

PLEASE HELP SOMEONE :)
