My fault. Mixed up shift_number vs shift_float. So the macros don't match. You could just rename in pmc_freeze.h:
Renaming did it. freeze/thaw for PerlNum checked in, with test.
The first time I ran tests after compiling, I got a failure in t/pmc/signals.t--it thought that no tests had run, and the harness eventually reported 12/6 subtests of signals.t failed. Immediately re-running make test came out fine; I added the new PerlNum test to freeze.t and ran it a third time, which also passed. I guess it was a fluke.
Yep. Albeit newer gcc versions seem to be faster.

So my compiler's almost as old as Parrot itself. Typical Debian. A project for the weekend, perhaps...
