Bug#577016: perl: FTBFS (experimental/sparc): -Duse64bitint problems?

[Niko Tyni]

Package: perl
Version: 5.12.0~rc3-1
Severity: important

The sparc build had other test failures besides the CPANPLUS ones
(#577011):

    ../cpan/bignum/t/bigexp.t
    op/numconvert.t
    op/pack.t
    op/pow.t

#   Failed test '($ev) is approx. 1'

I think the first thing to try is to turn off the new -Duse64bitint
just for sparc.
