Bug #120161 for B-C: B::C fails to build against perl-5.24.1

[Reporting this issue here as http://code.google.com/p/perl-compiler/issues is now a read-only archive.] Today I attempted to install B-C version 1.54 via 'cpanm' against perl-5.24.1 on Ubuntu Linux 16.04 LTS. Compilation failed; the first error message was: ##### Can't locate loadable object for module B::C in @INC ... ##### Please find attached the build.log (with output for successfully installed prerequisites trimmed). Thank you very much. Jim Keenan
