Unfortunately, lots of other things appear to depend on it, so it not
building has a rather sever knock-on effect.

For instance, perl-Future has it as a buildrequire, and perl-IO-Async
has both perl-Future and perl-Test-Refcount as buildrequires...

surely this sort of mess should've been sorted out before 5.18 was ever
shipped stable?!
