[PATCH] Re: parrot-0.0.5 doesn't like me. Which isn't fair, really, because I rather like it.

I think that I have perhaps discovered the solution to my inability to compile parrot after 0.0.4. It turns out that many (all?) things were compiling. I got a parrot.o, for example. So none of the suspected problems with long long or cgoto are now suspect. I was, for some reason, failing to l

parrot-0.0.5 doesn't like me. Which isn't fair, really, because I rather like it.

Okay, I can't find any documentation on how to send problem reports, so I hope this is sufficient and useful. If not, let me know: I've included the scrollback from `perl Configure.pl`, and the first pageful or so from `make`. (`make test`, of course, bombs completely, even though `make` doesn'
