-Tests
- io/fs test 4 and
- op/stat test 3
-may fail since MachTen versions 2.X have no hard links.
+During Configure, you may get two "WHOA THERE" messages, for $d_setlocale
+and $i_db being 'undef'. You may keep the undef value.
At the end of Configure, you will see a harmless message
Read the File::Find documentation for more information.
+It's possible that test t/lib/findbin.t will fail on some configurations
+of MachTen.
