Sorry, but I suspect that's not going to work either.

That's bit rot -- res_lea.c is now in src/gc/res_lea.c.
However, even fixing that, this is unlikely to work due to problems in
res_lea.c itself. Much more details are in [perl #42774].
If memory serves, understanding and implementing COW for strings was
where I got stuck.
Meanwhile, this patch should clean up some bit rot and document it all a
little better.
