    Trying to make the perl5 dist in ports, this occurs:

cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5
make

Directories to use for library searches?
[/usr/lib/aout /usr/local/lib /usr/lib]  

...
ing /usr/bin/ar instead...
/usr/libexec/elf/ar: /usr/lib/aout/libc.so.3.1: File format not recognized
/usr/bin/ar didn't seem to work right.
Maybe this is a Cray...trying bld instead...
bld: not found
bld: not found
/usr/libexec/elf/ar: /usr/lib/aout/libm.so.2.0: File format not recognized
bld: not found
/usr/libexec/elf/ar: /usr/lib/aout/libcrypt.so.2.0: File format not recognized
Ok.

    The perl build then fails completely because it doesn't set the appropriate
    feature defaults, because it's searching /usr/lib/aout before /usr/lib,
    which breaks ELF-builds because 'nm' and 'ar' default to ELF.

    The perl distribution is blowing itself up in hints/freebsd.sh, trying
    to set /usr/lib/aout AND /usr/lib at the same time... but primarily
    because it puts /usr/lib/aout first.  Bewm.
