PERLIO to a space separated list of layers
it seems that the test initially had
binmode $fh, ":perlio";
but PERLIO=stdio overrides this.
so phrase "The default can be overridden by setting the environment
variable PERLIO" does not look correct. Not only default is overriden,
but any atempt to use the layer.

There is a ticket related to eintr.t
https://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=85842
Long story short (my understanding):
1. Commit http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/b83080de5c4254
introduce eintr.t problems under freebsd and some solaris versions
2. Those OS blacklisted in eintr.t
3. It still has problems on older linuxes
4. According to this comment
https://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=84688#txn-871204
any (or some) IO in signal handler can be a problem, however it should
not (according to perlipc)
So, according to this ticket it might be a good idea to:
a) copy OS blacklist from eintr.t to eintr_print.t
b) remove 'print "# ALRM $$\n"' from $SIG{ALRM}
