It looks like the real error is somewhere else in File::Spec. I applied the LD patch and overwrote the File::Spec stuff in lib with the latest release from Ken and it builds correctly, no warnings in test either (of course it failed the filespec.t tests but that is expected as the overwrite was crude).
So definately do the upgrade.
