in reply to [Win32] Why did they add '-perlio'

It doesn't really matter what the arch name is. You can get it from the following: 

eval "$( perl -V:archname )"

(Well, once you rebuild your broken perl.)

    The problem was that the directory I specified for $(INST_ARCH) was different to $(ARCHNAME), as determined by the GNUmakefile.
    I still don't know whether that *should* lead to @INC being empty ... but I know from experience that it certainly does.

    If you're wondering what happens when such a mismatch occurs, gmake install puts the architecture-specific stuff into the directory specified by $(INST_ARCH), not the directory specified by $(ARCHNAME).

    There's no problem if (and only if) either:
    1) $(INST_ARCH) is unset (undef);
    or
    2) $(INST_ARCH) is set to $(ARCHNAME).

    I don't really see why it should matter. Everything would be fine if @INC was set in accordance with $(INST_ARCH).
    If it's so important that this not be allowed, then maybe it ought to be stated clearly that, when $(INST_ARCH) is set, it must be set to $(ARCHNAME).

    Cheers,
    Rob
