1.05-1 passes all tests on merulo.d.o but 1.06-1 and 1.09-1 don't
so it's not a regression in the build dependencies.

It boils down to the attached test, which apparently fails on ia64
but passes everywhere else. I assume this is a bug in perl but I'm not
quite sure yet.  Cloning and reassigning against perl, will investigate
more later.

I'm attaching a simple workaround that makes the 1.09-1 test suite pass
for me.
