[comp.lang.perl] Configure script changed

Hiya. I've had no problems building perl 4 on my SPARC 4/260 4.0.3.
Obviously, all you folk just have too powerful machines :-)

However, I am intrigued by a sudden change of heart in the new
Configure script. The old (3.044) version used to claim the sum of
cc's void capabilities was 7, on 4.0 it's now 1. Is there a bug in
the old Configure or the new Configure?

I'm lost in the void, as usual.

sig limited to four lines??? That's outrageous! My lawyer will be in
touch!

I think that Larry only wants to use the '1' feature, and
not the '2' or '4' feature, so he doesn't look for them.
