Once this is fixed, "make check" fails like this:

This is because there is no 'perl' on this machine:
$ grep PERL config.status
S["PERL"]="${SHELL}
/home/haible/multibuild-1209/irix65-cc/coreutils-8.12.178-df9cd/build-aux/missing
--run perl"
Remember that 'perl' is not a build prerequisite according to the
GNU coding standards [1].
