[comp.lang.perl] make test should delete Op.dbmx.*

While having a few problems with gcc-1.38 and Perl 3.041 on the NeXT
(System 2.0), particularly w.r.t. test op.dbm, I noticed that one
failure of op.dbm would leave around 0 length Op.dbmx.{dir,pag} which
would cause a succeeding run of op.dbm to crash prematurely. Either
t/TEST or ./Makefile (or perhaps t/op.dbm?) should delete those files
prior to testing.

ps. On the NeXT, with gcc-1.38, *don't* use -fpcc-struct-return. The
native libraries are compiled with gcc, after all...		_Mark_
