Mods to make perl under AIX 3.01 - and possible compiler bug

[Ed Kubaitis]

Some of the problems you reported building perl at patchlevel 28 have been 
addressed in later versions of perl. Here is a recipe for building perl at
patchlevel 44 on AIX 3.1 (3001) that passes all tests in "make test". Note 
that "cc", not "xlc" or "bsdcc" is used.

   o  used perl-3.0.41.tar.Z from prep.ai.mit.edu
   o  applied patches 42, 43, & 44
   o  ./Configure  
      Default answer on all questions, EXCEPT:
      "Do you wish to attempt to use the malloc that comes with perl? [y] n"

   o  apply attached patch which:
	 o defines SYMLINK in config.h
	 o prevents redefintion of sprintf in perl.h
	 o inserts "#pragma alloca" in x2p/a2p.y
   o  make depend
   o  make
   o  make test
   o  make install
