little-endian, this has always worked on Intel CPUs. This
is a very very old problem,  and it has been the reason I
never used gcc-4 on PA-RISC,  because perl would not pass
the test suite in 64bitall.

of 0 (pass) from functions like getpeername (),  but invalid
(or none) data in the returned structures or a return length
of 0 or 256. In the latter case, the length is stored in the
second part of the 64bit long and the 32bit first part is 0.
This might be true on Intel-like machines too, but the tests
will pass, as the significant part of the returned length is
in the first 32bits and a pointer to int will still see that
correct.  Mind that in that case the 32bits after that might

in aadb217dbe, but that typo introduced code that was a noop on all
platforms, including VMS, where $^O is 'VMS', not 'vms'.

TODO: The existence of PL_sig_defaulting and PL_sig_handlers_initted

depends on KILL_BY_SIGPRC, which is written directly to config.h
without being recorded in config.sh and is thus not visible in Config.

would not have mattered, as their config.wc shows that NetWare builds with
-DMULTIPLICITY, and hence "PL_sys_intern" is not a real variable there, but
part of the interpreter struct.

list to skip on NetWare on 2002/04/22. On 2002/05/01, ad6971c848a6c9ab
