Hm. Mysterious.

My understanding of #680790 and the referenced upstream bug
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=78892 is that this was
a problem in libio-async-perl, and libio-async-perl 0.51-3 with the
upstream patch is in testing (and is used by your build as seen in
the log). And I just verified that the patch _is_ in the package in
the archive. [0]

*sigh*
 
Cheers,
gregor, cc'ing upstream ...

[0] from CPAN RT#78892:
"If you update libio-async-perl to 0.52, you should find that the
Epoll loop now skips those tests, because it doesn't declare
_CAN_SUBSECOND_ACCURATELY."
(And the patch in 0.51-3 backports this 0.52 change.)
