I needed to define d_dosuid in case anyone's curious (Linux).  There
don't seem to be any setuid regression tests.  I'm open to suggestions
on where to start.  Some issues:

1.  We don't know which uid configures perl.
2.  We don't know which uids are available.
3.  We don't know which uid will run the tests.
