It's no longer needed. 5.00502 now has a configure test for union semun.
I just did an out-of-box compile and these were the test results:
Failed Test Status Wstat Total Fail Failed List of failed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
lib/anydbm.t 12 1 8.33% 12
lib/ipc_sysv.t 0 11 ?? ?? % ??
2 tests skipped, plus 14 subtests skipped.
Failed 2/186 test scripts, 98.92% okay. 1/6495 subtests failed, 99.98%
okay.
zsh: exit 29 ./perl harness
I know what's going on with IPC, and I'm guessing the DBM test is failing
because of a bug in the libc.
