I just compiled perl and this is what I had to do.
	1.  Use the big compiler.  Tell Configure that the compiler flags
	    are -B/usr/lib/big/
	2.  Modify config.sh at the point where Configure says you can.
	    Make "i_dirent='define'" say "i_dirent='undef'".
	    (This is the rewinddir problem)

And that is it.  BTW, I got perl the source patched to level 44 from
prep.ai.mit.edu in pub/gnu.  Is this the latest?
