Ah, I've seen that one as well.

For perl, I extracted the problematic code from the configure
script. The attached program prints "that's all right, then" on
NetBSD-2.0.2/i386, but dumps core on 4.99.36/amd64. There is one
compilation warning on amd64, which I don't see on the older i386:
foo.c: In function 'myvfprintf':
foo.c:15: warning: passing argument 3 of 'ivfprintf' from incompatible pointer type
