+Some tests may fail unless you use 'chacl -B'.  Also, op/stat
+test 2 may fail occasionally because Apollo doesn't guarantee
+that mtime will be equal to ctime on a newly created unmodified
+file.  Finally, the sleep test will sometimes fail.  See the
+sleep(3) man page to learn why.
+
+See hints/apollo.sh for hints on running h2ph.
+
+And a note on ccflags:
+
+    Lastly, while -A cpu,mathchip generates optimal code for your DN3500
+    running sr10.3, be aware that you should be using -A cpu,mathlib_sr10
+    if your perl must also run on any machines running sr10.0, sr10.1, or
+    sr10.2.  The -A cpu,mathchip option generates code that doesn't work on
+    pre-sr10.3 nodes.  See the cc(1) man page for more details.

+# This is a hints file for DGUX, which is Data General's Unix.  It was
+# developed using version 5.4.3.10 of the OS.  I think the gross
+# features should work with versions 5.4.2 through 5.4.4.11 with perhaps
+# minor tweaking, but I don't have any older or newer versions installed
+# at the moment with which to test it.
+#
+# DGUX is a SVR4 derivative.  It ships with gcc as the standard
+# compiler.  Since version 5.4.3.0 it has shipped with Perl 4.036
+# installed in /usr/bin, which is kind of neat.  Be careful when you
+# install that you don't overwrite the system version, though (by
+# answering yes to the question about installing perl as /usr/bin/perl),
+# as it would suck to try to get support if the vendor learned that you
+# were physically replacing the system binaries.
+#
+# Be aware that if you opt to use dynamic loading you'll need to set
+# your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the source directory when you build,
+# test and install the software.
+#
+# -Roderick Schertler <roderick@gate.net>
+
+
+# Here are the things from some old DGUX hints files which are different
+# from what's in here now.  I don't know the exact reasons that most of
+# these settings were in the hints files, presumably they can be chalked
+# up to old Configure inadequacies and changes in the OS headers and the
+# like.  These settings might make a good place to start looking if you
+# have problems.
+#
+# This was specified the the 4.036 hints file.  That hints file didn't
+# say what version of the OS it was developed using.
+#
+#     cppstdin='/lib/cpp'
+#
+# The 4.036 and 5.001 hints files both contained these.  The 5.001 hints
+# file said it was developed with version 5.4.2.01 of DGUX.

+#
+# One last note:  The 5.001 hints file said "you don't want to use

+# Subject: sockets broken under IRIX 5.3? YES...how to fix
+# Anyone attempting to use perl4 or perl5 with SGI IRIX 5.3 may discover
+# that sockets are essentially broken.  The syslog interface for perl also
+# fails because it uses the broken socket interface.  This problem was
+# reported to SGI as bug #255347 and it can be fixed by installing 
+# patchSG0000596.  The patch can be downloaded from Advantage OnLine (SGI's
+# WWW server) or from the Support Advantage 9/95 Patch CDROM.  Thanks to Tom 
+# Christiansen and others who provided assistance.

+
+-----
+Generic notes about building Perl5 on Solaris:
+- Use /usr/ccs/bin/make.
+- If you use GNU make, remove its setgid bit.
+- Remove all instances of *ucb* from your path.
+- Make sure libucb is not in /usr/lib (it should be in /usr/ucblib).
+- Do not use GNU as or GNU ld, or any of GNU binutils or GNU libc.
+- Do not use /usr/ucb/cc.
+- Do not change Configure's default answers, except for the path names.
+- Do not use -lmalloc.
+- Do not build on SunOS 4 and expect it to work properly on SunOS 5.
+- /dev/fd must be mounted if you want set-uid scripts to work.
+
+
+Here are the gcc-related questions and answers from the Solaris 2 FAQ.  Note
+the themes:
+	- run fixincludes
+	- run fixincludes correctly
+	- don't use GNU as or GNU ld
+
+Question 5.7 covers the __builtin_va_alist problem people are always seeing.
+Question 6.1.3 covers the GNU as and GNU ld issues which are always biting
+people.
+Question 6.9 is for those who are still trying to compile Perl4.
+
+The latest Solaris 2 FAQ can be found in the following locations:
+	rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/usenet-by-group/comp.sys.sun.admin
+	ftp.fwi.uva.nl:/pub/solaris
+
+Perl5 comes with a script in the top-level directory called "myconfig" which
+will print a summary of the configuration in your config.sh.  My summary for
+Solaris 2.4 and gcc 2.6.3 follows.  I have also built with gcc 2.7.0 and the
+results are identical.  This configuration was generated with Configure's -d
+option (take all defaults, don't bother prompting me).  All tests pass for
+Perl5.001, patch.1m.
+
+Summary of my perl5 (patchlevel 1) configuration:
+  Platform:
+    osname=solaris, osver=2.4, archname=sun4-solaris
+    uname='sunos poplar 5.4 generic_101945-27 sun4d sparc '
+    hint=recommended

+From: Casper.Dik@Holland.Sun.COM (Casper H.S. Dik - Network Security Engineer)
+Subject: Solaris 2 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1.48
+Date: 25 Jul 1995 12:20:18 GMT
+
+5.7) Why do I get __builtin_va_alist or __builtin_va_arg_incr undefined?
+
+    You're using gcc without properly installing the gcc fixed
+    include files.  Or you ran fixincludes after installing gcc
+    w/o moving the gcc supplied varargs.h and stdarg.h files
+    out of the way and moving them back again later.  This often
+    happens when people install gcc from a binary distribution.
+    If there's a tmp directory in gcc's include directory, fixincludes
+    didn't complete.  You should have run "just-fixinc" instead.
+
+    Another possible cause is using ``gcc -I/usr/include.''
+
+6.1) Where is the C compiler or where can I get one?
+
+    [...]
+
+    3) Gcc.
+
+    Gcc is available from the GNU archives in source and binary
+    form.  Look in a directory called sparc-sun-solaris2 for
+    binaries.  You need gcc 2.3.3 or later.  You should not use
+    GNU as or GNU ld.  Make sure you run just-fixinc if you use
+    a binary distribution.  Better is to get a binary version and
+    use that to bootstrap gcc from source.
+
+    [...]
+
+    When you install gcc, don't make the mistake of installing
+    GNU binutils or GNU libc, they are not as capable as their
+    counterparts you get with Solaris 2.x.
+
+6.9) I can't get perl 4.036 to compile or run.
+
+    Run Configure, and use the solaris_2_0 hints, *don't* use
+    the solaris_2_1 hints and don't use the config.sh you may
+    already have.  First you must make sure Configure and make
+    don't find /usr/ucb/cc.  (It must use gcc or the native C
+    compiler: /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc)
+
+    Some questions need a special answer.
+
+    Are your system (especially dbm) libraries compiled with gcc? [y] y
+
+    yes: gcc 2.3.3 or later uses the standard calling
+    conventions, same as Sun's C.
+
+    Any additional cc flags? [ -traditional -Dvolatile=__volatile__
+    -I/usr/ucbinclude] -traditional -Dvolatile=__volatile__
+    Remove /usr/ucbinclude.
+
+    Any additional libraries? [-lsocket -lnsl -ldbm -lmalloc -lm
+    -lucb] -lsocket -lnsl  -lm
+
+    Don't include -ldbm, -lmalloc and -lucb.
+
+    Perl 5 compiled out of the box.
