Picked up a compile time problem with Rakudo today. It is actually Parrot that uses perl5 to calculate which libraries and headers to use, and it was using invalid/old entries between an OS upgrade on Mac OS X. This was fixed by running /usr/bin/perl Configure.pl --gen-parrot instead of just perl Configure-pl --gen-parrot.

Applied in spirit. Thanks for the patch!
