build.log

See attached log, and upstream bug, for details.  Current workaround is to use -O0 or older gcc.
Comment 1 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2019-05-19 20:49:26 UTC
I'm going to call for stabilization of Perl 5.28 for everyone except hppa and sparc in bug 685664. If you want to go ahead anyway, please cc yourself there and proceed. Otherwise I'd suggest we wait for now until the upstream bug brings results.
Comment 2 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2019-07-14 19:14:13 UTC
@everyone, 

as a data point when talking to upstream, could you please test if this failure still happens with perl-5.30.0 ?

You dont need to actually install perl-5.30.0 for that; it's enough if you run

ebuild /usr/portage/dev-lang/perl/perl-5.30.0.ebuild clean test

perl-5.30.0 build log

Yes, perl-5.30.0 appears to fail for the same reason.
Comment 4 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2019-07-26 05:55:30 UTC
Yes, still happens with 5.30.0.
Comment 5 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2019-09-03 05:04:33 UTC
We should just hack the Configure test or something and keep perl up to date on sparc and hppa.

With it hacked, Perl passes the test suite on both 32- and 64-bit sparc userlands.
Comment 6 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2019-09-05 05:15:43 UTC
I attached a patch series to the RT ticket that fixes this.

https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=133495#txn-1654811

Feel free to give it a test.

    dev-lang/perl: Use Dd_u32align on sparc
    
    Upstream fix is in progress at
    
            https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=133495
    
    but this is a very simple workaround with the same result until then.

    dev-lang/perl: Combine -Dd_u32align definitions, add HPPA
    
    Although unaligned accesses are not fatal on PARISC, as they are
    automatically realigned as they occur, this has a non-trivial impact on
    performance that ought to be fixed upstream. Work around it the same way
    sparc*-* does and combine both efforts into a single myconf() call.

    dev-lang/perl: Remove unaligned access direction workaround
    
    As its been indicated that this detection has been fixed upstream in
    perl since 5.31.5, and the workaround should no longer be needed
