What if it complains about man3?

My reason for updating Math::BigInt is because Math::BigInt::FastCalc
complains about the version and fails bunches of test. Although, if I
understand right, Math::BigInt is part of the core modules, and my spidy sense
tells me messing with those might cause more problems than it solves.
