I applied this fairly recently; it may be helpful for a parrot-nightly.

Since you're running this script, you obviously have
Perl 5--I'll be pulling some defaults from its configuration.
First, I'm gonna check the manifest, to make sure you got a
complete Parrot kit.
Okay, we found everything. Next you'll need to answer
a few questions about your system. Rules are the same
as Perl 5's Configure--defaults are in square brackets,
and you can hit enter to accept them.
Okay. Now I'm gonna probe Perl 5's configuration to see
what headers you have around. This could take a bit on slow
machines...
Okay, that's finished. I'm now going to write your very
own Makefile, config.h, and Parrot::Config to disk.
Okay, we're done!
You can now use `make test_prog' (or your platform's equivalent to
`make')
to build your Parrot.
Happy Hacking,
