Amusingly, parrot doesn't build with the sizes that Configure wants it
to use (based on the binary perl dist available for os/2), I think
it wanted long long / long double / long long. Trying this on my FreeBSD
box also results in explosion (from perl space, in pack templates).
I chose the hints because I know that those values work, if someone
wants to try something else, it's up to them to decide that, these are
only hints after all... We can always change the hints later anyhow.
