That is what I did. In the perl5 config.h file at around line 1160
there is a call to define IEEEFP. Commenting that line out fixed
the problem. It still did not fix the speed.....(:+{{ about 12
hours for a gmake and perl compile on the MVII, and I have to do
that for each revision (1.2, 1.3.2, 1.4.3, and 1.5). It will be
a long weekend.....
Thanks
