Yes. Leave all the flags as they are and remove the #undef line I
recommended. The problem is that, for whatever reason, the use of
"malloc" in xspara_hello is being redirected to a Perl version, which
is then trying to use the Perl API. This needs a dTHX line at the
start of the function, which I'll add.
