A non-fixed bug never disappears

All this smoke testing of modules and Perl interpreters leads to worthful information. Right now Perl 5.11 shows a compilation error which is marked as build failure in the reports. I've searched around it and I found that this is an oldie. There seems to be a problem in including a header file which is called cdefs_elf.h. This header file can't be compiled until cdefs.h is included first. Is this the correct behavior? PR lib/37560 for more information. Where is the correct place to fix it? Perl? NetBSD?
According to the ticket this is a problem with Perl and should be fixed there. However, it shows the problems around communication with upstream. Btw, all the reports show this error and there is one which succeed with it. Any suggestions on a fix? References:
