lib/Test/Simple/t/fail-more.t fails test 10 when perl is built with bcc32:
not ok 10
# Failed test (../lib/Test/Simple/t/fail-more.t at line 80)
# got: 'No such file or directory
# '
# expected: ''
# Failed test (../lib/Test/Simple/t/fail-more.t at line 81)
# got: 2
# expected: -1
# Failed test (../lib/Test/Simple/t/fail-more.t at line 80)

I think the difference lies in the EOL on $! -- under bcc32 $! messages
are terminated with \n (\r\n when output). This is not true of VC++ or
GCC, and the test doesn't allow for it.
This difference, of course, comes from the underlying CRT. Using
Borland, this program
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
void main(void) {
printf("'%s'\n", strerror(2));
}
outputs
'No such file or directory
'
whereas using VC++ or GCC it outputs
'No such file or directory'
Perhaps rather than making the test allow for the difference, the better
solution might be to fix up $! under Borland to effectively chomp the
trailing newline?
Where is the code that sets up $! if I wanted to give that a try?
