All other tests pass with Configure -des -Dusedevel, expect for the below [1], ./perl -Ilib -V [2]

Cannot remember when I last time run full test here, sorry.

Please see ticket #131415 (Perl 5.24+ Configure loses hints script changes)

I'm building perl 5.26.0 on AIX 5.3 using xlc_r, after updating Configure to
retain the options contributed by the hints/aix.sh script.

Building with tests enabled, I got the following

Since dynamic linking on AIX requires platform-specific processing, the test
likely requires some work to make it fully functional on AIX. I'll see what
I can figure out.

Please see ticket #131415 (Perl 5.24+ Configure loses hints script changes)

I'm building perl 5.26.0 on AIX 5.3 using xlc_r, after updating Configure
to
retain the options contributed by the hints/aix.sh script.

Building with tests enabled, I got the following
Failed 1 test out of 2446, 99.96% okay.

Since dynamic linking on AIX requires platform-specific processing, the
test
likely requires some work to make it fully functional on AIX. I'll see
what
I can figure out.

This bug has been fixed in ExtUtils​::MakeMaker 7.26, but wasn't on time to
make it into perl 5.26.

Leon,

Thank you VERY much. I'll apply a local patch to my AIX 5.26.0 build to
bring ExtUtils​::MakeMaker up to the 7.26 level.

Leon,

I updated my ExtUtils​::MakeMaker to latest (7.28) level in my 5.26.0 package.
The build and all ExtUtil​::MakeMaker tests were successful for both 32-bit
and 64-bit on AIX 5.3 (with IBM xlc_r compiler).

Note that the 7.28 gz file has the execute flags set for /t/MN_Win32.t which
caused a later failure (that was trivial to fix)​:
t/porting/exec-bit ............................................. # Failed test 82 - tarball will chmod +x ../cpan/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/t/MM_Win32.t at porting/exec-bit.t line 60
# Remove the exec bit or add '../cpan/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/t/MM_Win32.t' to Porting/exec-bit.txt
FAILED at test 82

The same issue is present in the development (7.29_01) gz file, so I'll report
as a separate perlbug.

Can this ticket be closed?

AFAICT it can be
