This is a bug report for perl from root@​pacifier.net,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.8.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
SunOS xxx 5.10 Generic_118855-19 i86pc i386 i86pc
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i86pc-solaris

semctl() was returning an unimplemented failure. I tracked this down to the
Semctl macro not being defined, due to none of the IPC_STAT checks having
been defined. Solaris 10 should have USE_SEMCTL_SEMUN defined.

Rebuilding perl with USE_SEMCTL_SEMUN defined in config.h produces a working
semctl().

I suppose that defining d_semctl_semun in the solaris hints file is
enough to make it work, but doesn't this indicate that the Configure
tests are bogus ? Any Solaris porter to investigate that ?

The Configure tests work for me, which I realize doesn't help the original
poster much.

I've extracted the relevant Configure tests and attached them to this
message. Could you (i.e. "root at pacifier . net") run those tests
separately? That is, unpack the semctl.tar.gz file attached to this mail
and run the script 'compile.sh' in that directory? It should compile
cleanly, and the 'try' program should run and exit with a code of '0'.

About to run the program. It should exit with status 0.
