sparc64 and perl 5.8.8 port test failures?

[Steven D. Yee]

I tried deleting the work subdirectory
and doing both a 'make' and 'make WITHOUT_PERL_64BITINT=yes'
but make test still fails the same way on both the pack and integer tests ..
is it possible that there is some misconfiguration in my system that is confusing the
configure script w.r.t. 64bitness of my machine ?

I guess I could start mucking with the config.sh by hand but I'd rather figure out why
the port just doesn't work as is.
