I don't see any mention of compiler warnings in there (though I'm sure
it would be wise to read it in any case).

Warnings about unreachable code are usually benign; if Perl passes
all its tests, that's also a good sign that the warnings don't relate
to any actual problems.

That aside, if you send us the output for the parts of the build process
that give warnings, and also include the output of "perl -V" from the
resulting build (or "./perl -Ilib -V" if it isn't installed) it will
give us a chance to try and remove those warnings in time for future
releases of perl.

Thanks for the report,

Hugo van der Sanden
