Not that I can tell, but that does not mean it is not (still learning 
things), but possible one of threads is working on something perl 
related when it happens and I am not seeing it or realizing it. If you 
are willing to post the commands I could run to check, I can post the 
results. But when I do just a bitbake -c compile perl on a clean build 
dir all I would see was the segfault in dmesg and the results in QA log. 
Nothing would show up on the command line that was not in the QA log, 
after doing each step one by one.

But it must be related to this known issue with nvidia. Should be a 
couple hours before both machines finish building the kernel and perl, 
will post the results after. But looks promising for my laptop so far as 
no segfaults yet. Borrowed machine is on to building the kernel now and 
nothing posted yet.

Thank you for your response very appreciated. I will also read more 
about the issue you stated.
