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

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
