CURDIR it has been built without an obj directory; however if it is in
neither of those places, we expect it to be in DESTDIR.
Yes Bruce, I know this is broken because the host is not supposed to be
the same as the target, but we need to get the hosted build working
properly first before even attempting a cross compiled operating
system build. That will need to concept of TOOLSDIR or something that
can be mapped to DESTDIR in the case of a hosted build and set to the
installed tools in a cross compiled build. Later, later, later!
perl executable from overriding the object directory path search where
perl is most likely to be. Most people haven't seen this because it
defaulted to /usr/bin/perl which might be OK as a fallback, but when
bootstrapping a new version (or the *first* version on alpha), we don't
really want to use /usr/bin/perl.
Strong 2.2 and 2.1.x candidate. Someone should review the patch before,
however.
The maintainer of the Perl5 port should probably introduce a similar patch
there.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
peeking inside of Chris Torek's stdio library internals. This is
similar to the code used for other systems, but didn't work on CT's new
implementation.

interpret it. I've preserved the bugs that perl must be installed
to build part of perl and that it must be installed in the wrong place
(no ${DESTDIR}).
i reported today earlier..tested and works OK..
( To those who want to experience bug try running aub
with old version of socket.ph and with new one or just any
perl script "requiring " <sys/socket.ph> or <sys/cdefs.ph> )
perl setuid scripts don't work in 2.1-current for the same reason they were
not working in 1.1.5.1.
Perl 5 has the same "problem" of course.
We have almost POSIX saved uids but we must undefine the following symbols
in order to get setuid perl scripts :
