	I don't recall the warnings, but I did get this particular failure  
when building perl5.8 with the shared variant (which only does  
"configure.args-append -Duseshrplib" in the Portfile). I never looked  
into the problem though, as perl5.8 built just fine without that  
variant (even including +threads).

	Regards,...
