Compilation failed when inherited B::AUTOLOAD

What steps will reproduce the problem?

> perlcc -r -e 'package UNIVERSAL; sub AUTOLOAD { my $c = shift; print "$c 
$AUTOLOAD\n" } package Xyz; package main; Foo->Bar->[0](); print "ok\n";'

What is the expected output?

$AUTOLOAD\n" } package Xyz; package main; Foo->Bar->[0](); print "ok\n";'

Most likely a WontFix. Defining a UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD method renders any 
compiler unusable.

• Changed state: WontFix
• Added labels: Type-Other, Priority-Low

CORE/op/method.t can be fixed by replacing B:: with Z::
so B::AUTOLOAD will be Z::AUTOLOAD

But using UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD is a WontFix
