Great - but even just the output of the following would be helpful:

 ./Build test --test_files 't/compat.t t/install.t t/manifypods.t 
t/runthrough.t' --verbose 1

One source of information on compatibility is here:

  http://testers.cpan.org/show/Module-Build.html#Module-Build-0.25

Before throwing M::B into blead, it might be nice if Hugo could ask 
people to test 0.25, or the upcoming 0.26, on those "minor" platforms.

Was that version 0.25 of M::B, or something older?
