Then you would have to bootstrap the entire perl instead of just miniperl in order to make the world. Due to bugs in the perl build, we already have to do this, but don't do it; this breaks cross-compilation. > At the very least I'd think > that we could generate a link in the bootstrap directories for perl5 > to the miniperl. Would anyone care to enlighten me? This amounts to providing a misspelled version of `perl' in $PATH to fix misspellings in makefiles.
