A few of the op/64bit tests (23, 26-27, 29-30) are failing for me in
Linux 2.2.10 i686 (Debian2.1, gcc 2.8.1). If somebody has the
interest and time to debug this more, I would be grateful because I am
rather low on tuits. Configure with -Duse64bits and off you go.
Those are not all the failing tests: lib/bigfltpm.t 90-97, 101-110, 114-123,
127-136, 140-149, 153-162, 166-167 are failing too, they might be related
to the 64 bits thing, or then again, maybe not. Also op/universal 64
is failing, which is somewhat strange and which I haven't looked at yet
at all. A perlbug report coming up shortly.
(The 64bits test is working on Digital UNIX (where 64 bits is native),
and in sparc Solarises 2.6 and 2.7 using gcc long longs for quads, so
the test itself cannot be awfully broken.)
