Hi Reini Urban,

Thanks for this and sorry for my delay in response. '
I tried switching to a 32-bit system before doing the build, rebaseall,
perlrebase, patchperl, and perlall. Each of these still result in the Abort
signal being thrown.

$ ldd perl.exe
         ntdll.dll => /cygdrive/c/Windows/SYSTEM32/ntdll.dll (0x771e0000)
         kernel32.dll => /cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/kernel32.dll
(0x75cf0000)
         KERNELBASE.dll => /cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/KERNELBASE.dll
(0x75560000)
         libperl5_6_2.dll => /home/nick/perl-5.6.2/libperl5_6_2.dll
(0x66140000)
         cygcrypt-0.dll => /usr/bin/cygcrypt-0.dll (0x681a0000)
         cygwin1.dll => /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll (0x61000000)
         cyggcc_s-1.dll => /usr/bin/cyggcc_s-1.dll (0x67680000)

Important note: The perl5.6.2 did not build on Cygwin without changing

static_ext = lib/auto/Win32CORE/Win32CORE$(LIB_EXT)

to this

static_ext =

Is that why I am having the problem?

-Nicholas
Looks like a failing rebase on an incredibly low address 0xa70000.
Try rebaseall.

And then maybe a
$ perlrebase 5.6.2
But it rather looks like a system dll. libz.dll maybe.
Note: The argument 5.6.2 to find your right executable suffix

From my experience only lib/File/Find.pm from a newer perl is required
(I  took 5.8.1), otherwise you not be able to installe other modules
because the are not found.

I usually install old stuff with App::perlall and/or Devel::PatchPerl

Dear Cygwin Users,
I'm getting a SIGABRT when running a perl 5.6.2 that i built on cygwin
1.7.11.

See ldd from a working perl 5.10 http://pastebin.com/ytjVYg4F versus my
broken perl 5.6.2 http://pastebin.com/YXZ29NG6.

I turned on -DDEBUGGING on the ./Configure script. Here is the gdb backtrace
I have:

http://paste.scsys.co.uk/201064

Are there libraries missing? What's going on here?
