    Even though it will be lots slower, I would first try to do a native compilation of Perl 5.8.8 on the target machine. Compiling and testing Perl 5.22.0 on an ARMv7 (MediaTek) takes around 40 minutes and that would eliminate the "usual" architecture mix problems you get by trying out cross-compilation.
