However, http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/hints/linux.sh still has the issue, specifically: if test -L /lib/libc.so.6; then libc=`ls -l /lib/libc.so.6 | awk '{print $NF}'` libc=/lib/$libc fi So, my version was incorrect, yet the problem still exists. I've got a patch, need to submit it, yet Perl *does not compile* on a uclibc target *as is*. And this is why we should avoid adding new tools to build the kernel, because they introduce yet more break points, as such. Thanks. -- Mark A.
