  Im on CentOS release 5.11 (Final)using gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-1) (GCC) and have same error when trying to build perl 5.24.3

  
  ...
  miniperlmain.o -lpthread -lnsl -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc
  sv.o: In function `S_hextract':
  sv.c:(.text+0x9b5): undefined reference to `Perl_fp_class_denorm'
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
  make: *** [lib/buildcustomize.pl] Error 1

  Any success or we need to give up on CentOS 5.x and move forward to 6.x ?

  This problem is maybe fixed next release of Perl 5.26. It seems to patch to blead branch.

  Hey, Ryan. How's it going?

  Just tried to look at my failures, but I hit two problems:
  * The author page says I have two failing modules, but the module page only lists one with my name on it.
  * The link to the failure log gives me a 404.

  Thx for all your hard work!

  Modifying sv.c as follows gets "make" and "make install" to work. line 11172 redefines the macro to use the fpclassify function which I thinks is intended.

  
  11169-#define HEXTRACT_BYTES_BE(a, b) \
  11170- for (ix = a; ix 11171:#define HEXTRACT_GET_SUBNORMAL(nv) *subnormal = Perl_fp_class_denorm(nv)
  11172-#define HEXTRACT_GET_SUBNORMAL(nv) *subnormal = fpclassify(nv)
  11173-#define HEXTRACT_IMPLICIT_BIT(nv) \
