[PATCH 5.6.0-rc1] add logic to utils/perlcc.PL for Win32 with a BC++ compiler

This patch affects only perl for Win32 compiled with a BC++ compiler.
Without this patch command line for compiling resulting C code is incorrect
for BC++.

OTOH, I think it's wrong for modules or scripts to create command line for
each supported case. May be lib/Config.pm should provide such methods?

Good luck,
