I've built perl patchlevel 28 under risc/os 4.5, using the 2.11 c
compiler, in the bsd environment. It passed make test, although I
haven't tried any of our local scripts with it yet.
I can send Configure and config.sh to anyone who wants them.
There's still some required editing to config.sh and config.h after
running Configure.
Caveats for mips (and mips compiler based) systems:
1) Don't believe mips compilers when they say volatile works. Change
the define to undef in config.sh. This affects ultrix/risc
compilers, too.
2) Under risc/os, cpp and include files are a nightmare. Change all
occurrences of /usr/include in Configure to /bsd43/usr/include.
You still have to battle makedepend to get it to add
-I/bsd43/usr/include to the arguments to /lib/cpp. Don't forget
/bsd43/usr/lib/libc.a. Sigh.
Someday, perl will support risc/os out of the box.
