The following problem has been solved.

> Perl5.001e, test io/pipe.t failed on test #7.

Thanks to everyone who responded. To summarize, the perl5.001e
configure script is broken, and does not map the signal names to the
actual signals. Sorry for jumping the gun and thinking this was a Linux
kernel problem.

Solutions suggested included fixing the config.h/config.sh files, and
upgrading to perl5.001n or higher. For now, I chose the former, and
added the remaining Linux signals to the list. Perl now happily reports
all tests successful.

Thanks again,
Drago
