When I first downloaded the parrot code from svn yesterday, it failed
"perl Configure.pl" with the error "Compilation failed with 'cc'".
Between poking around the mailing list archives and a script Will
gave me I was able to get it working, but it occurred to me that the
hints file really should do what's necessary to customize the
configuration for OS X on PowerPC so future noobs like me don't run
into this problem.
I've attached my patch to config/init/hints/darwin.pm; with this
patch, I'm able to run "perl Configure.pl" with no special
environment variables set and Configure.pl runs to completion.
