I've received some test failures for Inline stemming from 'use

I'm assuming this is because of something incorrectly set up in the
testers environment ... and not the result of some sin being committed
by Inline. Can anyone confirm ?
This box (arm-none-linux-gnueabi 2.6.26-1-orion5x) is a Western Digital
MyBook World Edition mkII, and it has no C compiler, maybe that's the
source of problem?
With no compiler, the Makefile.PL should throw up (in relation to
$Config{cc}, whatever that happens to be):

I cannot locate this compiler on your system.
You can install Inline.pm without installing Inline::C. But you'll
need to install another Inline language module (like Inline::Java for
instance) to actually make use of it.
If the aforementioned C compiler really is on your system, please make sure
it can be found in the PATH and then try running this program again. Or if
you think I made an error searching for this compiler, simply answer 'Y' to
the next question.
Do you want to install Inline::C? [n]
###########################
And I would have thought that would lead to a successful build of Inline
(but without Inline::C). At least that's what happens when *I* try to build
Inline without making a compiler visible.
Even if I do force the Inline::C build (by entering 'y' at the above
prompt), I still don't get any failures relating to 'use diagnostics;'. The
errors I get stem from $Config{cc} being unlocatable - which is to be
expected.
No matter ... I just wanted to be sure that this is not something that I
need to fix ... and I'm now satisfied that's the case :-)
Thanks Seguei, David.
Cheers,
