Probably a good idea to unskip it and fix the problem there first.

which looks like a symbol isn't in the symbol table of the shared object Cwd.so.

I would hazard a guess that the software is asking for a Perl_Gthr_key_ptr
function which doesn't exist in the shared object Cwd.so so there may well be a
mismatch between the software requirements and what you have installed. 

I suggest you fix the first bug first in case your skipping it is causing this
bug.
