This was a perl compiled with Sun's cc.

I've attached them, though they actually aren't very informative by
themselves. However, I have already diagnosed the problem in my previous
messages -- the values getting loaded by init::defaults are not suitable
for compilation. While running parrot's Configure.pl, I fixed them, but
the correct values I gave to Configure.pl are being ignored.
You can easily recreate this situation for yourself. Build and install a
private copy of perl. Then hand-edit Config.pm and Config_heavy.pl in
your new perl's architecture-dependent library. Change some entries to
invalid ones. For example, you might change 'cc' to 'qcc' to mimic a case
where you have different compiler installed than the system vendor used.
Or you might change the libs directive to include -lbogus, simulating the
case where the vendor had a particular library installed, but you don't.
Then use your new perl to build parrot. Supply the correct cc, ccflags,
and libs arguments to Configure.pl. Parrot should build as well as it
normally does. However, the tests that assume that init::defaults is
correct may now fail.
