Whoops. :)

PERL_EXIT_DESTRUCT_END has been defined in the stable branch since Perl 
5.8.0 (which has been out for almost 4 1/2 years).

Up to this point, I only have checked Perl 5.8.8.

There are at least two options, now:
a) State in README/docs that 5.8.0 is needed, and that the system has
   been tested with 5.8.8
b) Use a
#ifdef PERL_EXIT_DESTRUCT_END 
PL_exit_flags |= PERL_EXIT_DESTRUCT_END;
#else
PL_exit_flags |= PERL_EXIT_EXPECTED;
#endif
   wrapping or sth. similar

Please tell me what option you'd prefer (or just commit that 
yourself :))

As a side note: Perl 5.8.7 is available as a binary package for Solaris 
9 from sunfreeware.com:
ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/sparc/9/perl-5.8.7-sol9-sparc-local.gz

Best,
   Bastian
