By "problematic feature" here, you mean H:T:P, right? There only thing
problematic is when it is compiled incorrectly. The same would be true for
DBI, gd or any of the other XS modules.
I understand from your reply that everything in mainline is working on your
Mac systems now. But all that's changed is that H:T:P doesn't trust your
bad "i64type" setting anymore. You could have obtained the same results by
building H:T:P with the correct $Config{"i64type"} at any time.
As a side note, you should beware of recent Apple 10.5 security updates also
breaking perl:

This is precisely the same kind of problem that Koha cannot solve of
itself. If it gets fixed, it will be outside the codebase.

Do you mean
http://serene.ttllp.co.uk/~mjr/koha.git/<http://serene.ttllp.co.uk/%7Emjr/koha.git/>?
A directory view of the repo is not at all useful for seeing what
patches
you've made. Please try gitweb.
