[ID 20000321.083] OK: perl v5.6.0 +v5.6.0-RC3 on alpha-dec_osf 5.0

This is a bug report for perl from hirsch@tru64.fast.net,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.28 running under perl v5.6.0.

Verrryy interesting...  If I 

1) build a statically-linked RC3 (no libperl.so) 

   and 

2) turn off binary compatibility with 5.005

it works splendidly.  This is the one exception:

comp/cpp............cc: Severe: No such file or directory
... file is '/tmp/decAAAabikEa.c'
FAILED before any test output arrived
FAILED--1 test script could be run, alas--no output ever seen

I have heard it claimed that this may be ignored.  If that's not so,
please advise.

I'm planning to go back and retry the dynamic linked version for a
reality check, then try to establish which of the two recent changes
actually made the difference.
