Hello,

I don't know if this is the best news before releasing perl 5.20.2, but none
of the perl branches (including blead) does not pass tests when built
with GCC 5.0:

t/run/switches ................................................. "EACCES" is not
 exported by the Errno module
 "EISDIR" is not exported by the Errno module
Can't continue after import errors at run/switches.t line 126.
# Looks like you planned 115 tests but ran 8.
FAILED--expected 115 tests, saw 8

etc.

This is caused by wrongly generated Errno.h which is missing all the constants
(e.g. Errno::EISDIR):

That's reportedly caused by a change in GCC 5.0's preprocesor as described in:

<https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2015-February/207549.html>
<https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=60723#c27>

The preprocessed output contains a new line with current working directory
directive which make troubles to the Errno_pm.PL parser.

Simple work-around is to call the preprocessor with -P option (inhibit
generation of linemarkers). Once I find a proper fix, I will post it here.
