Re: CPAN Upload: A/AB/ABERGMAN/ponie-2.tar.gz - Ponie Development Release 2

After applying a few little build patches, ponie generally built fine,
except for the following warnings:

I didn't check exhaustively, but I think they are mostly all complaining
about LvTARG being used as an lvalue.

sv.h:#define LvTARG(sv)      ((SV*)*Perl_macro_LvTARG(aTHX_ (SV*)(sv)))

Sun's old cc compiler doesn't like that.  Neither does HP or AIX, if I
recall my Configure lore correctly.

ponie builds anyway.  I only get one test failure, during t/x2p/s2p:

t/x2p/s2p....1..56
ok 51 - psed w
Illegal Instruction - core dumped
ok 52 - s2p w

Running dbx() on the core file gives:

I'm not sure if that's related or not.  Or it might be related to the
stack-walking stuff.  I don't know.

Otherwise, it worked well.  Good job!
