Problems encountered while upgrading from patch 8 to patch 12 of
Perl 3.0 under A/UX 1.1 using cc:

- The optimizer warns that some optimizations are lost due to table
  overflow when compiling eval.c and toke.c.  The generated code appears
  to be correct even if presumably suboptimal :-).

- Because A/UX has a fake <dirent.h> which includes <sys/dir.h> and
  #defines dirent to be direct, Configure gets confused.  Editing 
  config.sh to set i_dirent=undef and d_dirnamlen=define works.  This
  problem was present in patch 8 as well.

- The function fatal() is defined in libPW.a and in util.o.  Removing
  -lPW from the list of libraries allows successful linkage.
