           Summary: MakeMaker has perl.mak depending on non-existent
                    /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-
                    multi/CORE/config.h'
           Product: Fedora Core
           Version: devel
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: medium
          Priority: normal
         Component: perl
        AssignedTo: rnorwood at redhat.com
        ReportedBy: vonbrand at inf.utfsm.cl

Description of problem:
I tried to build git here, the build fails:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/vonbrand/tmp/git/perl'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target
`/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/config.h', needed by
`perl.mak'.  Stop.

The generated perl.mak file (essentially a Makefile with funny name) contains
the following:

  PERL_INC = /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/sparc-linux-thread-multi/CORE
  ...
  CONFIGDEP = $(PERL_ARCHLIB)$(DFSEP)Config.pm $(PERL_INC)$(DFSEP)config.h
  ...
  $(FIRST_MAKEFILE) : Makefile.PL $(CONFIGDEP)

I don't see how this could ever have worked, as the $(CONFIGDEP) file doesn't
exist. Strangely, the same git does build OK on Aurora Linux (essentially an
oldish Fedora Core), with the exact same Makefile, where the referenced file
doesn't exist either.

I'm blaming perl as it is the only piece I think might be involved that changed
today, and before updating today the build went fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-5.8.8-13.fc7

Don't know.
