Test different build flags for Perl 5 Perl 6

Test different build flags for Perl 5 / Perl 6

If you know more C than Perl or want to hack on the actual interpreters, try to build one by hand! There are plenty of people here to help, and if you see any compiler warnings or errors on some combination of flags, this is an easy place to start patching.

  For Perl 5, to get started:
