Description of Problem: make fails with testing the AnyDBM_File functionality. This is due to the failure in the NDBM_File module.

How Reproducible: only on ia64 so far Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -Uvh perl-*.src.rpm 2. rpmbuild -bc /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/perl.spec 3. cd ../BUILD/perl-5.6.0 4. make check Actual Results: make check fails when testing lib/anydbm.t, lib/ndbm.t, and lib/posix.t
