[Buildroot] perl depends miniperl

[Mark Constable]

In the pursuit of a usable ar I thought I'd select Target options -> Generic
development system and see what happens but it stopped at this point where,
I presume, building perl requires ../../miniperl.

Any suggestion how to work around this one?

I really do not want perl at all. Certainly not on the target.
