same result. i tried 3 times, and each started compiling without 
rebuilding the dependencies and failing on linking miniperl.

same result (again, 3 times, 3 failures).
with CFLAGS="-O3 -march=i486"
and the options as mentionned in the book plus -Darchname=i486-linux

i tried adding mtune: CFLAGS="-O3 -march=i486 -mtune=pentium".
3 failures without -Darchname, 3 failures with -Darchname.

as all above test failed, i retried the same script as i used for my 
successfull nightly build. 1 failure, the second was successfull!!


i never had any problems with older perl builds following the book. the 
machine is about 3 years old and i've built at least 6 complete lfs 
systems with it, using the resulting disks in older system as firewalls, 
file-, web- and mailservers. always with CFLAGS="-O3 -march=i486"

my next issues for next week will be:

1) try the job on an other machine

2) try to install spamassassin on the current machine despite the 
failures in test. this will load a bunch of sources from cpan, probably 
failing. if this is successfull and step 1 fails too, i guess i'l live 
with the strange behaviour.



thanks for your help
