Ah, the problem is completely different. What Mark tried to achieve is
to make building of Perl possible outside of the ``make buildworld''.
We need miniperl to build Perl. I'll see if I can come up with a more
elegant solution tomorrow.
Mark, the idea! Why not just make a `build-tool' target in
perl/Makefile build miniperl, and adjust perl/Makefile.inc
as follows:
.if exists(../../miniperl/miniperl)
MINIPERL?= ../../miniperl/miniperl
.elif exists(../miniperl/miniperl)
MINIPERL?= ../miniperl/miniperl
.else
MINIPERL?= miniperl
.endif
The last case for `buildworld'.
Then anyone who wants to build the Perl outside ``buildworld''
would run ``make build-tool'' first, then ``make all''.
(I'm not sure if we need ${.OBJDIR} is assignments or not.
Depends on whether some Makefiles execute ``cd'' or not.)
