Allison, the problem is not that we're attempting to --optimize on a
platform that doesn't support it. It's that on some platform --optimize
leads to inexplicable test failures.
I would like to suggest that the README read something like this:
"
perl Configure.pl
make
make test
make install
If you are primarily interested in using Parrot rather than developing
it, on most platforms you can safely begin like this:
perl Configure.pl --optimize"
Thank you very much.
