New version.

Check url in xml for correct suffix.

Version 5.22 is out but due stricter regex quoting quite a few of the gnulib testsuites have failures

As a before ticket, when upgrading use Perl's bundling system to upgrade to a current version of Perl.

As far as I can tell, threads is detected properly and we can remove -Dusethreads from:

./configure.gnu --prefix=/usr \
   -Dvendorprefix=/usr \
   -Dman1dir=/usr/share/man/man1 \
   -Dman3dir=/usr/share/man/man3 \
   -Dpager="/bin/less -isR" \
   -Dusethreads -Duseshrplib

Need to look at the export commands in multilib.

Each 32bit and 64bit build of Perl 5.22.0 resulted in all tests passed using the boot method with full networking enabled.

New version 5.22.1 now out.

Replying to kb0iic:

As far as I can tell, threads is detected properly and we can remove -Dusethreads from:

./configure.gnu --prefix=/usr \
   -Dvendorprefix=/usr \
   -Dman1dir=/usr/share/man/man1 \
   -Dman3dir=/usr/share/man/man3 \
   -Dpager="/bin/less -isR" \
   -Dusethreads -Duseshrplib

I tried leaving off -Dusethreads and it does say it's not enabling threads support.

Build a threading Perl? [n]

[William Harrington]

Agreed, still need -Dusethreads. Perl 5.24.0 is out and I am testing this with my Raspberry Pi 3 arm build, but I'm guessing with mulitlib nothing has changed much regarding install.
