# The two flags "-fpic -DPIC" are used to indicate a
# will-be-shared object.  Configure will guess the -fpic, (and the
# -DPIC is not used by perl proper) but the full define is included to 
# be consistent with the FreeBSD general shared libs building process.
#
# setreuid and friends are inherently broken in all versions of FreeBSD
# before 2.1-current (before approx date 4/15/95). It is fixed in 2.0.5
# and what-will-be-2.1

Unless you've upgraded your DB library manually you will see failures in
db-recno tests 51, 53 and 55.  The behavior these tests are checking is
broken in the DB library which is included with the OS.  You can ignore
the errors if you're never going to use the broken functionality (recno
databases with a modified bval), otherwise you'll have to upgrade your
DB library or OS.

Some users have reported that Configure halts when testing for
the O_NONBLOCK symbol with a syntax error.  This is apparently a
sh error.  Rerunning Configure with ksh apparently fixes the
problem.  Try
	ksh Configure [your options]
