Yes, I thought that was probably the case. Python is more forgiving in this regard. When trying to solve this problem in cross-boss, I found that Makefile-based modules would usually build if you ran Perl through QEMU during src_configure and ran Make with some tweaked variables during src_compile and src_install but this is extremely hacky. -- James Le Cuirot (chewi) Gentoo Linux Developer
