All good on FreeBSD 13.1, amd64, except from a minor thing.

unixInit-3.2 fails: [encoding system] inside the spawned interpreter is 
iso8859-1. This gets fixed if I re-run the test after installation, so I 
guess somehow the test can't resolve the encoding files before they are 
installed. As a double check, I have renamed the installed encodings/ 
directory, re-run the test, and reproduced the failure.
