maint-5.10-1196-ga8a43ff on VMS status

With everything default except -Duseithreads, I see:

Failed 6 tests out of 1564, 99.62% okay.
       [-.lib.CPANPLUS.Dist.Build.t]02_CPANPLUS-Dist-Build.t
       [-.lib.CPANPLUS.t]19_CPANPLUS-Dist.t
       [-.lib.ExtUtils.t]basic.t
       [-.lib.Module.Build.t]compat.t
       [-.lib.Module.Build.t]ext.t
       op/magic.t

Here's what I know about what fixes these.


       [-.lib.CPANPLUS.Dist.Build.t]02_CPANPLUS-Dist-Build.t
       [-.lib.CPANPLUS.t]19_CPANPLUS-Dist.t

These require the integration of <http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commitdiff/41cb7b2 
 > from blead plus the patch to IPC::Cmd at <http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=46288 
 > being rolled into a release and working its way downstream.


       [-.lib.ExtUtils.t]basic.t

This is fixed in EU::MM 6.51_03, though that has a couple of new and  
different failures that will hopefully be sorted out shortly.


       [-.lib.Module.Build.t]compat.t
       [-.lib.Module.Build.t]ext.t

These are resolved in the M::B development stream (specifically at <http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=42724 
 >) but await percolation through a release, blead, and thus to  
maint.  Should we go ahead and put a development snapshot of M::B into  
blead?


       op/magic.t

Minor collateral damage from converting the test to t/test.pl, fixed  
in blead at <http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commitdiff/ae8ade6>.
