The incorrect assumption here is that you are building Parrot with the
same compiler and architecture (read: integer and pointer sizes) that Perl
was built with. Specifically, it allows my perl (64-bit ints but
otherwise 32-bit) to build a full 64-bit Parrot under Solaris. Maybe it
helps other mixed platforms too.
