A/UX 2.0 cpp barfs during Perl PL 41 make test

I'm lazy. So when, while running make test on Perl, patch level 41,
which I've just compiled under A/UX 2.0, I see
comp.cpp........cc: wait returned from unrecognized child; pid
25587
cc: wait returned from unrecognized child; pid 25593
ok
I immediately think of asking whether anybody else on the net has fixed
this problem. It's not Perl that's barfing; it's /bin/cc. And the
fault's not terminal: the results of running the preprocessor are what
Perl was expecting. All other tests are absolutely ok.
By the way, to get Perl going under A/UX, you need to specify
``optimizer flags'' as -O -B/usr/lib/big/ (otherwise compiler and/or
assembler tables overflow on some modules), and to add -lposix to the
list of libraries (otherwise rewinddir is not found). That's all.
Pretty damned good. Thanks, Larry.
