Dear Thomas,

perl-cross is not a serie of patches which fixes a broken configure script.
perl-cross is an add-on which adds an alternate configure script for
cross-compilation.
Currently, perl-cross is not extracted in the host-perl build tree,
because it is useless.
But if perl-cross is extracted, the original configure script works
fine for building a host-perl.

Alex Suykov could correct me or give more details.

Another point for perl, could you take to look to
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/477361/ ?

François.
