You are right. perl6 and all the similarlily generated
parrot-languages binaries
do not work. They have hardcoded paths to the builddir, which I
thought I have fixed, but my fix only affected parrot itself not the
dumped (with pbc_to_exe generated) languages executables. And my test
did not include renaming the builddir.

Best is to remove these two packages from the release dir until I fix it.
I'm behind a strict firewall now, can someone do this for me?
