Doh!  I think I had the Alpha release notes open on one machine and
the VAX on another and got confused about which I was looking at.
So, anyway, the ansi_alias bit was a red herring and we can rule that
out.  Following through on my threat of hacking the Makefile.PL, I
see that it has already been hacked but the assumption was made that
problems were fixed after DEC C 5.3.  Let's remove that assumption
and see what happens.  Back to you, Brian ...
