Replying to [comment:2 jkeenan]:
> Until today I never looked at this test before, and I have never used
the program it calls, ''tools/dev/mk_language_shell.pl'', before.

or whether it's a side effect of the way that program and its
corresponding test file are written. Does it make sense to try to create
a new language on top of a Parrot in the build directory as opposed to an
installed Parrot?

On Darwin, I configured with a `--prefix` directory and subsequently
called `make install`. I then followed the instructions in
''tools/dev/mk_language_shell.pl'' for creating a new language
implementation:
{{{
$> perl tools/dev/mk_language_shell.pl Xyz
$> cd xyz
}}}
Using, in turn, each of the installed parrot and the build-directory
parrot, I then called:
{{{
$> parrot setup.pir
$> parrot setup.pir test
}}}
In each case, the language built and tested satisfactorily. I also ran
''mk_language_shell.pl'', changed the name of the build directory, and ran
the setup.pir commands with the installed executable. Again, the results
were satisfactory.
I infer from this that the test failure in ''t/tools/mk_language_shell.t''
I experienced earlier when configuring with my patch to
''config/init/hints/darwin.pm'' is a problem with the test file -- not a
problem with the patch or with ''tools/dev/mk_language_shell.pl''.
Other opinions? Am cc-ing contributors to TT #344.
Thank you very much.
