You sent a patch for h2xs.t as bug report 29623 - presumably this fixes the problems you report here with h2xs.t failing. Am I right in assuming that it doesn't solve the lib/ExtUtils/t/Constant failure? The message "don't know how to make w" is somewhat strange. Any ideas where that's coming from? (ie why make thinks that it needs to make a target named 'w'? I've been building perl on FreeBSD for quite a while now and never seen any error like that, so I'm not sure where to start.
