    GNU 3.2.2 is okay and 3.4+ seem okay, 3.3.3 and 3.3.4 are suspect.
 2.95.3 may still work fine.

    This is a problem arising from fedora having changes in the OS
compared to earlier OS versions.  The subroutine is not used and has
been moved out of the way in 31DEC04 but you are installing an old
frozen version we cannot change.  Edit the file
$TST/$ARCH/INSTALL/APLLINUX.LIS 
and put a minus sign in the first column ahead of this subroutine.
Then restart install.pl.
