Well, I'm not aware of anyone trying to build for the clipper port in
a long long time (circa 1994).  I would be rather surprised if it still
works given the amount of changes in GCC since 1994.

If you are building from a GCC release you should not need gperf.   gperf
is only needed if you change the parser files.
