I am building perl 5.20 on an android device within the KBOX app (details available if necessary). Thanks to its broken linker, I need to link libperl.so with every extension that uses symbols from it. I am new to the perl configure/build process...how would I go about doing this?

UPDATE: Running the self-created build script suggested by an AnonymousMonk installed perl instead of stopping when PL_RE.so wouldn't load (see error posted below). The resulting install allowed me to successfully build autoconf and automake on device, which was the end goal of building perl.

FYI, I'd like to eventually learn perl, and plan on using the interpreter I've built on my Android tablet to do so, so I'd still like to figure out why the DynaLoader.pm won't load PL_re.so...and if it is just that shared module that won't load or are all shared modules broken
