It's a rp3440 with 8 GB memory and 4 processors.

dave at mx3210:~$ cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal:        8234328 kB
MemFree:         3143260 kB
Buffers:            1940 kB
...

If this is a mmap issue, there are some restrictions on the placement of
memory shared between modules due to aliasing issues.  This occurs when
software tries to specify the mapping location.

Build is successful if I "export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck".  I have  
the latest
unstable packages installed now and haven't seen any problems with the  
Debian packages
that depend on perl.

I can poke more at this if I knew where to look.
