Perl is now out of the picture; there is definitely something not
right with libm.so.0.1.  (See my previous post.)

It would be interesting if someone had a 1.2F or 1.2G system and
could provide me:

	- the libm.so.0.1 from the 1.2{F,G} build
	- a libm.so.0.1 built on 1.2{F,G} from -current sources
