This is a bug report for perl from perl-diddler@tlinx.org,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.16.2.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]

Tried to rebuild 5.18.0 failed with:

Failed 1 test out of 2329, 99.96% okay.
  ../lib/perl5db.t


Seems different messages from sub-tools can create false-positive failures:

I.e. maybe check if the return status is 0? (on "theory" that if there
are no undefined symbols, you would get a "true (0)" exit status and
false (!=0) otherwise?
