    Already done.  I passed along Bruce's suggestion that older, buggy
printf()'s would output a "0" instead of a "0." and that perl was
relying on this behaviour.  The extension module sources are generated
by the Makefile and I couldn't find a way to patch the distribution so
that it correctly produced source with integer subscripts.

    I kept the log of my Configure run because I ran across a bunch of
"WHOA THERE!!!" warnings.  They don't appear to fatal.  Are these a
result of something missing in FreeBSD's/gcc's libraries, or just
something perl's Configure script hasn't been taught to handle?
