My understanding is that an XS perl module cannot be built unless there
is a shared libperl.  Therefore a build failure in the XS subdirectories
is expected.  The build should finish but the use of XS modules will be
disabled.

I don't know what kind of success this is.  Do you mean that the XS 
modules were built, installed and loaded whenever texi2any runs?  If 
that is the case, I do not understand it.
