I've not tried to trace that in detail, but it seems clear that
something in the newer ppport.h is assuming a C99-compliant
compiler. I can hardly blame the Perl guys for assuming that
in 2022, so I'm just going to remove --with-perl from that
animal.
(It appears that Python 3 assumes C99-compliance too, in
a different way [2], so I've also had to remove --with-python.
Maybe I could resurrect that if I built Python 2.7 on that
machine, but I don't think I'm going to summon the motivation.
The world has clearly Moved On from pre-C99 compilers.)
