After looking at the definition of these symbols in Perl 5.004, I wonder
whether the problem is related to Perl's EMBED/NO_EMBED option. Perhaps
the perl5 interface fails to compile if you have installed Perl with
the nondefault setting of that option? This is a bit of a stretch,
but given that we have heard no other complaints, I'm guessing there
must be *some* unusual aspect of your local setup that triggers the
failure.
