On NetBSD-5 on amd64, make test completes all tests successfully. In order 
to rebuild all of the other perl packages on this machine, I had to update

On NetBSD-5 macppc systems, make test has two tests which fail:

Failed 2 tests out of 1751, 99.89% okay.
        ../dist/threads-shared/t/stress.t
        re/re.t

Threading never was quite right on macppc systems...
