Problem​:
'make test' fails to run on SCO UnixWare 7.0.1.
The dynamic linker failed to find the symbol 'bcopy'.

Reproduction steps​:
tar xvf stable.tar
cd perl5.005_03
rm -f config.sh
sh Configure -dsE
sh Configure -S
env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd` make
env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd` make test

STDOUT​:
  Making re (dynamic)

  Making Errno (nonxs)
  cd t && (rm -f perl; /usr/bin/ln -s ../perl perl)
  cd t && LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/brianm/perl5.005_03​:/lib​:/usr/lib​:/usr/lib
/ARCserve ./perl TEST </dev/tty
dynamic linker​: ./perl​: symbol not found​: bcopy

*** Error code 137 (bu21)
UX​:make​: ERROR​: fatal error.
smaug{brianm}8​:

TO FIX​: Edit config.sh, change d_bcmp and d_bcopy to 'define'.
