Perhaps a helpful failure message when run at the wrong time would help.

The following composite patch builds and passes parrot tests.
However the pmc2cutil tests are not passing. Could you post a new

that includes passing pmc2cutil tests?
Can you send me some output with test failures? They've passed
repeatedly on my machine.
Please note that the pmc2cutil tests should only be run at a point
*after* you've called perl Configure.pl but *before* you've called
'make'. That's because if you've already run 'make', you've
created some of the files whose creatability is the thing to be
tested by the pmc2cutil/*.t tests. If those files already exist on
your disk, rather than give you false positives, some of the tests
are deliberately designed to fail.
I was getting burned by false positives for three weeks before I
realized this. But before I conclude that this is your problem,
I'll need to see some output. Thank you very much.
