Certain Perl core C APIs like cxinc and regatom are no more available.

+Certain APIs like Perl_list are no longer available without their
+Perl_ prefix. If your XS module stops working because some functions
+cannot be found, in many cases a simple fix is to add the C<Perl_>
+prefix to the function and the thread context C<aTHX_> as the first
+argument of the function call. For cleaner embedding you can also
+force this for all APIs by defining at compile time the cpp define
+PERL_NO_SHORT_NAMES.
Perl_save_bool() has been added.
End of Patch.
