Done. I have also reconfigured buildfarm member prairiedog to use
a non-MULTIPLICITY build of Perl 5.8.3, with the oldest Test::More
and IPC::Run versions I could lay my hands on. Although I'd gotten
through a manual "make check-world" with this configuration in HEAD
before touching the buildfarm configuration, I see that it just fell
over in the back branches. So there's still some more fixing to be
done, or else we'll need to change that claim again. Will investigate
once the buildfarm run finishes.
