1 is not acceptable, and 2 kinda sucks.

Please try adding this to SPI.xs,

#ifndef aTHX_
#define aTHX_
#endif

recompile and test by calling spi_exec_query with more than 2 arguments like
this:

create function should_croak() returns text language plperl as $$ my $rv = spi_exec_query("select 1",5,"blurfl");
return$rv->{status};
 
$$;

select should_croak();

cheers
