perl may fail to build on newer host architectures such as aarch64 due to its inability to guess the host architecture to build 'miniperl', which is built during the process. An error message looks like this: Configuring build-time miniperl for unknown ERROR: No $target defined (?!) ERROR: configure --mode=buildmini failed This happens because the config.sub and config.guess files from perl are not modified and may become outdated. These files are normally updated automatically by a Buildroot hook for autotools packages, to avoid problems like these. Although perl uses the config.sub and config.guess files, it is not a strict autotools package, so it is not defined as an "autotools-package" in Buildroot and so it doesn't inherit the hook. This commit makes perl borrow the hook from the autotools infrastructure so that it can build on newer build architectures. This has been tested by building it on an aarch64 host machine.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
