Including -j1 because of concurrency issues
This means we don't have to do the -U__DATE__ -U__TIME__ hack in later perls.
Had a datetime embedded in it
All of these only apply to Perl 5.18 and future perls are okay. This commit backports - a patch to make the include order of files in Encode package reproducible - a patch to make Errno and Pod pm files reproducible - a patch to make the ordering of .a files deterministic using ParseXS
For reasons Perl has decided files that don't exist should be given a random "small" digest to make them rebuild always. That isn't helpful for reproducibility.
(Wow I misread the code the first time)
Also, with these changes, change the architecture to i686, as per previous commits.

While running through Perl with problematic-source, we (myself included) really missed a lot of stuff that was pregenerated. This effectively necessitated a brand new Perl bootstrap. This PR includes that.
There are a number of teething issues that need to be fixed.
Quite importantly, we need to also decide whether to include this whole bootstrap in core live-bootstrap, or only up to a version necessary for the bootstrap, which is surely not the latest.
