I had to patch the FreeBSD hints file to make Perl build on FreeBSD
5.0-RC2. The symptom was a failure to build SDBM_File, with FreeBSD's
stdlib.h prototyping malloc() and free() one way, and Perl's proto.h
another. I'm not sure whether I've patched the right place in the
hints file, but it built and passed tests :-)
Here's a diff against the 5.8.0 source.
Merry Hanukwanzmas, and Praise Santa!
