Re: build from Source: 9.0.1 / 9.1-alpha1 cannot build modules

Yes, that's the line. Have even edited to be sure it's got a proper CR, etc.

No, haven't even touched on vpath yet... Happy to try - what to test?

What to check for in Makefile.global.in? Looks pretty good in cursory overview.

Time to move to SunStudio? Better binary performance?

Hm, 3.81 is a pretty popular version, so that doesn't seem to be the
answer. Did you look at exactly what was on the complained-of line?
It looks to me like it should be

top_srcdir = $(top_builddir)

which seems unobjectionable. But maybe there's something wrong
with your copy of Makefile.global.in.

BTW, was this a vpath build, or not?

Bjorn also warns that you might not have 64-bit perl available, even
when you get the script issue resolved.
