Perl does not build properly on NetBSD 2.1.0 for Alpha hardware, when
using 'Configure -de'.  The solitary failing test is ...

$ ./perl ../ext/POSIX/t/sigaction.t
...
not ok 5

Perl was built thus:

$ rm -f config.sh Policy.sh
$ sh Configure -Dprefix=/arpa/af/d/drhyde/cpantesting/perl-5.8.8 -de
$ make
$ make test

This BEGIN block in the test file looks like a good place to start
investigating what's going on.

BEGIN{
    # Don't do anything if POSIX is missing, or sigaction missing.
    use Config;
    eval 'use POSIX';
    if($@ || $^O eq 'MSWin32' || $^O eq 'NetWare' || $^O eq 'dos' ||
      $^O eq 'MacOS' || ($^O eq 'VMS' && !$Config{'d_sigaction'})) {
        print "1..0\n";
        exit 0;
    }
}
