I have committed a fix in r11320 so that the build doesn't pick up
system-wide libparrots, which has certainly been the cause of some
linkage problems over the last few days.
[As background, since my previous email didn't make it into RT, the
circumstances for this are:
* A system-wide libparrot exists (in /usr/local/lib)
* Perl provides -L/usr/local/lib with its link flags, as it does on
cygwin and gentoo Linux]
