Errr, wait a moment:
$ write sys$output f$message(%X10B90003)
%CC-I-NORMAL, normal successful completion
The trouble really is with just_mcr_it, which won't recognize
%X10B90003 as a successful compile, and thus won't run the program.
A better solution would probably be to redefine compile_status
(sorry, got no diff/patch here yet):
$ echo4 "Checking to see if you have long double..."
$ GOSUB link_ok
$ IF link_status .NE. good_link
$ THEN
...
$ ELSE
$ echo "You have long double."
$ echo4 "Checking to see how big your long doubles are..."
$ IF compile_status .EQ. %X10B90003 THEN compile_status = good_compile !!!
$ GOSUB just_mcr_it
$ longdblsize = tmp
$ d_longdbl = "define"
$ echo "Your long doubles are ''longdblsize' bytes long."
$ ENDIF

As I can't oversee the implications: Dunno.

No, but if I copy PERL.CLD to PERL_ROOT:[000000] before calling
MMK INSTALL (which calls PERL_SETUP.COM, which issues the
$ SET COMMAND PERL_ROOT:[000000]PERL.CLD)...

Of course. Mainly, my notes are about building GD v1.33 and the
underlying libraries.
