Internal stat() function for perl stores inode number as string, if it
cannot be represented by host's integer. However, unfortunately, some
components compare them as integer.
Therefore, if 64-bit integers are not supported, files cannot be handled,
whose inode number is larger than UINT32_MAX.
Usually, inode numbers on real filesystems are well below UINT32_MAX. But,
inode numbers larger than UINT32_MAX are assigned for tmpfs on LP64 kernels.
This results in build failures for perl on COMPAT_NETBSD32 if working
directory is tmpfs, and perl-64bitint and friends are not specified.
Now, inode numbers are compared as string, which works just fine even if
64-bit integers are not supported.
