A couple of years ago I reported the issue but had to drop it due to a
lack of time on my part.

Perl 5.12.3 fails to build on my Ubuntu 17.04 system (was upgraded from
the 14.04 I was using a couple of years ago.
perl                            [     5.12.3 ]            [       92 ] [

How do figure where in the perl makefile is the failing part?

In  ipfire-2.x/build/usr/src/perl-5.12.3 is a perl binary which executes.

How do figure where in the perl makefile is the failing part?

root(a)S20:/usr/ipfire-2.x/build/usr/src/perl-5.12.3# ./perl -v

Hello,

are you trying to build the toolchain here?

If so, you can just download a pre-compiled one with:

  ./make.sh gettoolchain

Sometimes it is a bit tricky to compile them on various host systems.

Best,
-Michael

I tried it both ways.  No luck.  Building 32 bit under 32 bit CentOS 
works fine.
I'm going to try again on a clean 17.04 install.

Yes, I am using Fedora on my machine, too and that works fine.

I just don't understand why Ubuntu is different.

Anybody else using Ubuntu?
