Perl is a real PITA to cross-compile. I would almost suggest that you |
| 2 |
don't bother... I have the same sentiment for more recent Python |
| 3 |
versions too. |

Is there something specific that you need to compile perl from stratch |
| 6 |
for? Can you just use an older version that does potentially |
| 7 |
cross-compile? Would you be happy just installing a binary package |
| 8 |
into your SYSROOT (i.e. /usr/armv4t-softfloat-linux-gnueabi)? |

There are binary packages available through a link here: |

If you absolutely need to compile it, then why don't you just set up a |
| 15 |
native compilation environment? Cross-compile gcc, portage, etc for |
| 16 |
armv4t, and any other dependencies of perl, and then boot the |
| 17 |
FreeRunner from your new kernel into a root filesystem that you've |
| 18 |
populated with all of the previous binary packages you've compiled. |
| 19 |
Then you should be able to 'emerge perl', although it will likely take |
| 20 |
a long time. |
