5.8.7 do not build cleanly, it requires a patch that I sent to p5p, but it
was not accepted for inclusion yet.
5.9.3 do have fixes in makefiles.

Anyway, fixes to makefiles should be tiny, and I attached those to 5.8.7.

this isn't right. Could you explain what error forced you to do so?

I didn't.
However, something makes me think you didn't "play around with the makefile"
correctly.

perlce tries to use perl's memory allocation, as it is much faster than
system's one.
