The above message contained the following:

In general, you'll need to use the same compiler that was used to build
your perl utility.  If that compiler was "gcc", then you should be OK.

There's no error message in the above and the file "make.log" didn't
indicate any problems.  Could it be that you didn't redirect both
standard output AND standard error to the file "test.log" when you
executed the command "make test".  If so, then please retry and send me
the output.  If not, then there's not much I can do because there's no
indication of what the error might be.
