I tried to apply patches 16 and 17 to perl but had a problem compiling
perly.c.  In line 526 it says that origargv is undefined.  I am not
running with the setuid-fixup-thingamabob working.  When I re-run
Configure and tell it that I want to do the special setuid checking,
then perly.c (and everything else) compiles ok.  

origargv is defined in perly.c but only if the DOSUID pre-processor
flag is set.  In line 511 there is an #else pre-processor statement
that causes line 526 to be compiled when DOSUID is not set instead of
when DOSUID is set.  It seems that line 526 should only be compiled
when DOSUID is set and not when DOSUID is not set.  Can we have an
official patch for this, Larry?  Thanks.
