OK, so the #ifdef test should be fixed...

You mean after adding PL_op?  Good, the list of missing symbols should
be Perl-version-specific, but after several tries it should stabilize.

Do not know when I will be able to recheck it, but probably not after
very long.  Unfortunately, I will not be able to check why the test of
Term::Gnuplot fails as root.  Anyway, after testing it as user, one
can manually change to the build directory
(~/.cpan/build/Term-Gnuplot* or somesuch) and do

  make install

as root...
