It's unusual to compile Perl with -DPERL_DISABLE_PMC, but it's
something that has worked in previous versions of perl.

On blead, tests in t/run/switchM.t fail.  The attached patch skips
those tests using a crude regular expression: a better approach that I
don't know of might exist.

Please apply this patch, or something that does the job better, before
5.20 so everyone can continue to compile and use Perl 5 without PMC
support.

Thanks,
Tom
