It's also a pity that automake doesn't work with microperl. And even for
the most simple .pm you have to do perlward^Wawkward stuff like
ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_AUTOMAKE),y)
# we need to build a perl for the host just for Errno.pm
(cd $(MICROPERL_DIR); ./Configure -de; \
$(MAKE) CC="$(HOSTCC)"; \
$(SHELL) ext/util/make_ext nonxs Errno MAKE="$(firstword $(MAKE))"; \
)
endif
(cd $(MICROPERL_DIR); chmod u+w uconfig.h; . ./uconfig.sh; \
$(MAKE) -f Makefile.micro regen_uconfig; \
