It's because people didn't want to face the cross-compilation issues.
I don't know of any reason why miniperl can't be built as a build-tool,
but haven't tested this.

I work around this bug by building miniperl manually and copying it to
/usr/bin

perl5 build is poo

2001-08-23 Thread David O'Brien 

On a -current Alpha box I cannot:

cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl
make cleandir && make cleandir
make obj
make depend

 make depend
 ===> libperl
 Extracting config.h (with variable substitutions)
 rm -f .depend
 mkdep -f .depend -a -I/files/Obj/files/Current/gnu/usr.bin/perl/libperl
 ..snip.. 
 cd /files/Current/gnu/usr.bin/perl/libperl; make _EXTRADEPEND
 echo libperl.so.4: /usr/lib/libm.a >> .depend
 ===> perl
 Extracting config.h (with variable substitutions)
 Extracting cflags (with variable substitutions)
 Extracting writemain (with variable substitutions)
 Extracting myconfig (with variable substitutions)
 miniperl:No such file or directory
 *** Error code 1


Why isn't miniperl in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/Makefile ?
