Bug#838613: perl: FTBFS on hppa - ext/XS-APItest/t/customop FAILED

[Helge Deller]

> Since 5.22.2-4, the ext/XS-APItest/t/customop test fails on hppa and perl

I do see in the kernel dmesg that perl tries to jump into nirvana (type=6 means ITLB fault):

[55974.502498] do_page_fault() command='perl' type=6 address=0xbe400403 in attributes.so[f87c3000+3000]
[55974.503017]  vm_start = 0x001d7000, vm_end = 0x0039c000

gdb output isn't helpful either:
process 8125 is executing new program: /build/perl/perl-5.22.2/perl
.././ext/XS-APItest/t/customop.t .. [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

We don't have debian porter boxes, but if you send me your public ssh key 
and preferred login name via email to "deller at gmx.de", then I can provide you with
access to one of the debian buildds.
