I'm building LFS-7.0, and I'm at the first Perl build:

        http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter05/perl.html

I think there's an error here.  I've been reading through the recent 
Perl-related scripts, and I'm not sure it's covered.

Basically, the patch fails for me because <perl-source>/hints/linux.sh is 
read-only.  Adding a line before the patch:

        chmod u+w hints/linux.sh
        patch -Np1 -i ../perl-5.14.2-libc-1.patch

fixes the issue for me.  (Everything else is fine...The symlink & related 
issues covered in the thread is just more BGFB stuff.)

On the off-chance that this is Jason's error...A very early chown/chmod may not 
solve anything, since the perms issue appears only *AFTER* you unpack the Perl 
tarball.
