Ok, that just means that the patch is irrelevant for your configuration.
Here's what I think is happening: On some builds of Perl for Win32,
ldflags includes -libpath. For example, ActiveState's Perl, installed
into the default location, has
{{{
ldflags='-nologo -nodefaultlib -debug -opt:ref,icf
-libpath:"C:\Perl\lib\CORE" -machine:x86';
}}}
On other builds of Perl for Win32, such as Strawberry Perl, the "-L" flag
is used instead, so the code in question in Configure.pl does nothing.
There is normally no reason for parrot to be linking against libraries
stored in {{{C:\Perl\lib\CORE}}}, so it makes sense for parrot's
Configure.pl to remove the entry {{{ -libpath:"C:\Perl\lib\CORE }}}.
I think the patch should be reverted, and an explanatory comment added
instead.
