Here's a preliminary patch against perl patchlevel 24717 to make
64bitall perl build on Mac OS 10.4.x (Darwin 8.x):
Two additional test failures to add to the list when built with the
new compiler in just-released XCode Tools 2.1:
< lib/Benchmark.............................ok

lib/Benchmark.t at line 80)

But runs fine every time under harness or harness -v. I notice
this test has given "dubious" results in a few smokes, so I guess I'm
seeing the same thing. (Test 13 fails if an estimated run time
diverges too far from a measured run time.)

All tests successful.

Weird. Apart from anything else, why does 29a_upcopy work
consistently when downcopy fails randomly?
