RE: [perl #33054] Segmentation fault in DB_File with perl-5.8.6 gcc-3.3.2

I tried compiling db-3.1.17 with gcc-3.4.3 and then compiling perl-5.8.6 with the same gcc.
I had problems getting the perl configuration/compilation to see and link to the db library,
and then, when I did, I got a segmentation fault with the same (or similar) back trace.

I then tried to build another XS extension and had more linking problems.

My conclusion is that the fault is with my build of gcc-3.4.3 not with db or DB_File.

I have given up and reinstalled gcc-3.3 and am rebuilding perl-5.8.6 with that.
So it will be difficult for me to do further investigation of gcc-3.3.2+ or -3.4+

Hmmm, not sure about mixing'n'matching gcc. Any chance you could try
building both with the same gcc?
