Currently both perl-native (a.k.a. ${STAGING_BINDIR_NATIVE}/perl )and
perl-native-runtime(a.k.a. the system perl, or /usr/bin/perl) appear in
the PATH when bitbake is running.
This can cause some race conditions: many places detecting perl from PATH
can't make sure which path will be used as this depends on when perl-native's
populate_sysroot is finished, e.g., automake-native and autoconf-native could
use perl-native-runtime while gnu-config-native could use perl-native and
this inconsistent usages can cause trouble, e.g., bug 941.And, as RP suggested, "the time to use perl-native instead of perl-native-runtime is where any perl module is being built, perl itself is being built or anything that has an explicit dependency on the perl version present". So I made the following changes to try to address the aboves issues: 1) populate perl-native into its own directory so it won't appear in PATH by default, and add perlnative.bbclass for these recipes that really depend on perl-native; 2) check all perl-native references and correct the ones that should be perl-native-runtime; 3) fix any building issues due to the new location of perl-native, especially cpan and cpan-base .bbclass. With the changes, bug 941 doesn't appear. Tests I did are: I tried "bitbale core-image-sato-sdk and meta-toolchain-gmae" in x86_32 and x86_64 Ubuntu hosts and everything seems building fine. Please review the changes and comment on them.
