I suspect it may be related to the warning I'm seeing as well.
In file included from globals.c:35:
perl.h:4170: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
This also points to ...
4178 MGVTBL_SET(
4179 PL_vtbl_arylen,
4180 MEMBER_TO_FPTR(Perl_magic_getarylen),
4181 MEMBER_TO_FPTR(Perl_magic_setarylen),
4182 NULL,
4183 NULL,
4184 NULL,
4185 NULL,
4186 NULL
4187 );
