Subject: Test fails due to deficiencies in EU::CB (outside of EU::HC's control)
I am opening a separate ticket for this, to serve as a placeholder. The tldr is: EU::CB is very unreliable wrt "false positives" (e.g. a `ln -s /bin/true cc` found in $PATH). Hence testing against it is ill-advised. See extra discussion starting from https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=113635#txn-1615937 Afaik leont is working on a fix of some sort, based on preliminary work by haarg.

Leont, not sure if 0.14 addressed this or not. Can you chime in? Cheers

No, it wasn't, it was addressed in 0.018 though. Leon
