If Perl/iX dies with an unresolved external reference to _getenv_libc on your
5.5 machines, you need to install patch LBCJXT6A.
This patch is already built-in to 6.0 where I build Perl, and was installed
a long time ago on my 5.5 machine where I test Perl before doing a public
release. Thus I had never seen this problem until Charles Finley mentioned it.
The Perl/iX home page has just been updated to note this prerequisite for 5.5
machines.
