Hi again,

my quick test with 5.15.8 I have mentioned in my previous post was 
probably too quick (I wrongly set up 64bit build), here are updated results:

1/ tests results for 32bit-gcc
     - crash (segfault in UNIX words) in re/reg_eval_scope.t
     - crash (segfault in UNIX words) in op/fork.t
     - tests hang up in 
../cpan/CPANPLUS-Dist-Build/t/02_CPANPLUS-Dist-Build.t

The crashes are "new" the hang up I have already experienced with 5.14.x 
- 
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2011/04/msg171428.html 
and

2/ tests results for 64bit-gcc
     - crashes (more than one) in re/reg_eval_scope.t
     - crash in op/fork.t
     - some strange error during op/taint.t (maybe something broken on 
my Win7 box)
     - one failed test in ../ext/Pod-Html/t/cache.t

3/ pointer-to-int and int-to-pointer casting warnings with 64bit-gcc

"Only" approx 60 occurrences in the following files:
- pp_pack.c (3x)
- RealPPPort.xs (1x)
- POSIX.xs (1x)
- Socket.xs (7x)
- Storable.xs (more than 40)

4/ in order to have NDBM_File + ODBM_File in strawberry perl we need 
these two extra files in perl core tarball:
ext/NDBM_File/hints/MSWin32.pl
ext/ODBM_File/hints/MSWin32.pl
mentioned in my RT https://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=71680 
(please consider including them in 5.16.0)
