The test suite uses File::ShareDir opportunistically (eval { require
File::ShareDir }).  This pulls in the XS module Params::Util, but its
symbols are only resolved later unless PERL_DL_NONLAZY is set. Therefore
the eval { require } succeeds but actual use fails.

See #479711.

The alternatives are to patch PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 into the test or to add
a build conflict on libfile-sharedir-perl. I think I'm going for the
latter choice.
