compiling / threads / perl-5.10.1

[sbk]

I'm having trouble compiling 5.10.1 with threads. [5.10.0, with -
Dusethreads, works fine].

Tips for trouble-shooting this?

I have no idea what character that actually has before Dscriptdir and
Dusethreads,

U+2013 (EN DASH).

but it certainly isn't a hyphen.

Yup. I suspect that sbk uses copy'n'paste from a document where the
HYPHEN-MINUS was replaced with an EN-DASH. Unfortunately perldoc/groff
tends to replace some ASCII characters (like quotes or dashes) with
"typographically correct" (but syntactically wrong) characters. So you
can't just copy from the docs, you need to type ...
