I ran Makefile.PL on a random windows box which hasn't had its compiler
installed correctly yet. Rather than emitting an error message about
how it couldn't find my compiler, it apparently passed the test, and
then crashed multiple times later on:

Parrot Version 0.4.10 Configure 2.0
Copyright (C) 2001-2007, The Perl Foundation.
Hello, I'm Configure. My job is to poke and prod your system to figure out
how to build Parrot. The process is completely automated, unless you passed in
the `--ask' flag on the command line, in which case it'll prompt you for a few
pieces of info.
Since you're running this program, you obviously have Perl 5--I'll be pulling
some defaults from its configuration.

Verifying that the compiler supports function pointer casts...Although it is not
required by the ANSI C standard,
Parrot requires the ability to cast from void pointers to function
pointers for its JIT support.
Your compiler does not appear to support this behavior with the
flags you have specified. You must adjust your settings in order
to use the JIT code.
If you wish to continue without JIT support, please re-run this script
With the '--jitcapable=0' argument.
