It seems to build rather more reliably than 4.1.5 :-).

However, on AIX I get:

Successful build on x86/FreeBSD. Seems okay besides the noted utf8-* 
tests on sparc/Solaris, x86/Solaris, ia64/HP-UX, Irix (the last of which 
skipped said tests). However risc/HP-UX went poorly, most tests produced 
the failure (e.g.) "../sed/sed: file ./numsub.sed line 3: Memory 
exhausted" (though this seems like it may be a problem with the machine...).
