I'll try, but rapid feedback is not easy. Among other things, the test
suite is currently going into various infinite loops. I nailed one today,
but there are others.
Actually, these problems should be relatively easy to reproduce. For
example, you could build a fresh copy of perl and hand edit it's Config.pm
to include a bogus library (e.g. add -lbogus to it's libs variable) and
use that perl to build parrot.
Another thing you could do is simply never load init::defaults. Load the
correct Config instead.
