This could cause some trouble. I was expecting cpuarch-osname
(two dash-separated components only). I think we'll happily
ignore the latter two entries, though. Do you consider "sun4"
to be the cpuarch? Or is it really "sparc*"?

That seems really strange. You have Parrot/Jit.pm?

This is actually the correct message (for appropriate values of
"correct"), even though its a wart that's scheduled for removal.

In order to avoid creating a jit/nojit directory with core.jit and
string.jit in it, this was the cheat. Eventually, we'll have it. So,
this is known and expected behavior for now. We just want the thing
to build, even if you have a nojit architecture.
