Peter didn't like it ... which is about what I'd expected, but I was
keeping quiet till he weighed in ...
I'm guessing that what we need to do is -D_GNU_SOURCE somewhere in the
Makefiles; the $64 question is exactly where (can we restrict it to
src/pl/plperl?) and what conditions should cause the Makefiles to add
it? Do we want a configure test?
FWIW, I see no such failure on HPUX with Perl 5.8.0, but that seems to
be because Perl's HAS_CRYPT_R symbol doesn't get set here. Which is odd
in itself, because crypt_r() is definitely available on this platform.
