yes

if i

  ./Configure -Dfirstmakefile='GNUmakefile' ...

as usual,

 grep HAS_UNION_SEMUN config.h
  /* HAS_UNION_SEMUN:
  /*#define HAS_UNION_SEMUN	/ **/

after digging abt in perl src, i note that if i *ADD*

  ./Configure -Dfirstmakefile='GNUmakefile' ... -Dd_union_semun

then,

  grep HAS_UNION_SEMUN config.h
   /* HAS_UNION_SEMUN:
   #define HAS_UNION_SEMUN	/**/

and, subsequent

   make

seems happy with that.

so, the question is -- why's it need to be defined on my system, and
not on yours?

did _you_ run Configure? or the default install?

thanks.
