=head2 Compiling Perl 5 on Tru64
The recommended compiler to use in Tru64 is the native C compiler.
-The native compiler produces much faster code (the speed difference is
-noticeable: several dozen percentages) and also more correct code: if you
-are considering using the GNU C compiler you should use the gcc 2.95.3
-release since older gcc releases are known to produce buggy code when
-compiling Perl.
