> The perlcross project makes it possible to properly cross-compile
> perl.  It creates a host-miniperl that is configured for the target
> and uses that to cross-compile the perl modules.
>
> Unfortunately there are still a few hacks needed to make it work.
> Proper fixes can be developed and upstreamed later.
>
> Since there is no longer a dependency on qemu, it works on all
> architectures again.
>
> Also removed some config options:
> - BR2_PACKAGE_PERL_CUSTOM_INSTALL just allows a selection of modules;
> this can also be encoded by an empty BR2_PACKAGE_PERL_MODULES.
> - BR2_PACKAGE_PERL_DB_FILE and BR2_PACKAGE_PERL_GDBM_FILE can be
> derived automatically from the package configs.
>
> Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) <arnout at mind.be>
