Devel::UseAnyFunc, which Clone::Any depends on, uses eval { require $pm } to check for available modules. It does not check whether the call of the clone function succeeds.

In this case with an unsupported architecture, the whole thing fails when clone is first called. That's why, unfortunately, Clone::Any does not work here. simonm pointed me to this in an email.

Probably Devel::UseAnyFunc can be expanded by a eval call of the function in question (here clone). I'll mention this to simonm. On the other hand, Devel::UseAnyFunc would need to know how the function wants to be called. Oh well...

Clone::PP looks like the solution (thanks qq). Albeit slower than Clone (and Storable for that matter) and having some limitations, it probably will work well for my purposes.

Storable's dclone would also work. It is part of the core distribution of perl. Maybe I should use that. On the other hand, this may change with Perl 5.10.

What, me indecisive? ;-)
