Ok, this is a sign that your miniperl has some serious trouble. I don't
know what, specifically, errno 9 (Bad File Number) is telling us, but it's
definitely not good.

Oh, dear. This is bad. None of the tests run. Usually, most of the
tests run successfully, and we can use the failed tests to track down
what's wrong with miniperl.
Your next step is to try to run ./miniperl manually to see if you can get
it to fail more informatively. I'd suggest things like
cd t
./perl t/base.t
and gradually build up to
./perl TEST base/*.t
and ever more complex commands.

One vague possibility that comes to mind is that you are using a
pre-release test 2.6.0 kernel on a rather old system (glibc-2.2.4 and
gcc-2.96). Are you *sure* that this kernel and this libc work well
together?
