This still doesn't build for me.
First, Configure.pl dies because MANIFEST hasn't been corrected to reflect
the rm -r platforms command.
After fixing that, Configure.pl dies with this message:
Alright, now I'm gonna check some stuff by compiling and running
another small C program. This could take a bit...
"./include/parrot/parrot.h", line 28: cannot find include file:
"parrot/platform.h"
cc: acomp failed for testparrotsizes.c
C compiler died! at ./Configure.pl line 347.
So I fake one up with
touch include/parrot/platform.h
Then, Configure.pl and GuessConfig run, but make dies with
cc -I./include -o core_ops.o -c core_ops.c
"core_ops.c", line 358: undefined symbol: DEFAULT_OPEN_MODE
"core_ops.c", line 365: undefined symbol: DEFAULT_OPEN_MODE
"core_ops.c", line 372: undefined symbol: DEFAULT_OPEN_MODE
"core_ops.c", line 379: undefined symbol: DEFAULT_OPEN_MODE
"core_ops.c", line 386: undefined symbol: DEFAULT_OPEN_MODE
"core_ops.c", line 393: undefined symbol: DEFAULT_OPEN_MODE
Next, I copied the old parrot/platforms/generic.h to
include/parrot/platform.h.
make then died with
"platform.c", line 3: 0 is invalid in #line directive
"platform.c", line 21: 0 is invalid in #line directive
"platform.c", line 35: syntax error before or at: /
"platform.c", line 35: invalid source character: '#'
"platform.c", line 35: undefined or not a type: include
"platform.c", line 35: cannot recover from previous errors
Lines 3 and 21 have #line 0 directives.
Line 35 is a C++ comment, //.
I fixed both of those, and then the link stage died with
cc -I./include -o test_prog global_setup.o interpreter.o parrot.o
register.o core_ops.o memory.o packfile.o stacks.o string.o
encoding.o chartype.o runops_cores.o trace.o vtable_ops.o pmc.o

That's as far as I've gotten.
