I've never had the need to do this.  I build all my platform code in the 
same source directory in AFS space.

In theory, Makefile.PL may need some tweaking to account for platform 
differences.  Again, with straight C code I've rarely had to do this.

I keep coming back to your stated need to generate an export file 
manually.  This should not be necessary and may indicate a problem with 
either the base Perl build or your build process.
