It's supposed to be created by mkppport, using the contents of mkppport.lst
#
# List of directories into which a ppport.h should be installed.

ext/IPC-SysV

Looks like Time-HiRes is the only one of those 4 built on VMS. I assume that
mkppport is being run, as it's a prerequisite of dynext:
dynext : $(LIBPREREQ) $(DBG)perlshr$(E) preplibrary makeppport $(MINIPERL_EXE)
$(MINIPERL) make_ext.pl "MAKE=$(MMS)" "--all"
makeppport : $(MINIPERL_EXE) $(ARCHDIR)Config.pm
$(MINIPERL) mkppport
so where is it wrongly writing the ppport.h to, and why?
