Oops, a typo.  It's actually on OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-2.

I found if I $SET PROCESS/PARSE=EXTENDED, the MMK test drops to 8
errors, mostly in the cpanplus section.

That should probably be at least put in the documentation, and in the TEST.COM procedure when running the test on an ODS-5 disk.

What's an optimum set of build environment settings for DECC$x
logicals and the building process?  Apparently extended parse style helps.

None of the DECC$ logicals currently need to be set during the build/test process.

I have tried to minimize the effect of SYS$POSIX_ROOT:

The logical name BIN can cause some directories in the test process to be inaccessible.

The logical name TMP may or may not have any affect. If it is not present, the CRTL maps /tmp to be SYS$SCRATCH: as a previously undocumented feature.

What about building while case-sensitive?

That will probably not work. Several of the build steps are creating files in the wrong case, and the File::Spec::VMS module needs an update to make it report accurate state of case sensitivity.
