To get rid of the FTBS, I had to rebuilt parrot with perl5.12 on my system.
Once this is done, rakudo builds fine

To fix this issue, I'd suggest to request a binNMU (i.e. just a rebuild for 
i386 arch) on parrot to fix rakudo's FTBS. But this is a short term solution.

A proper fix is more involved. Looks like parrot is using Storable to provide 
some "stuff" (*) which is used to build rakudo. Storable internal format is 
not portable throught the major Perl version. So parrot package should declare 
a dependency on the perlapi (a Debian virtual package) it was built with.

Unless someone from pkg-parrot-devel team objects, I'll request a binNMU for 
parrot at the end of this week,

Dominique

(*) I hope that parrot long timers will explain what that "stuff" is ;-)
