Thanks for the tips about using the Cross folder in the perl distribution. I had looked at that before, but was running into errors when compiling it, so I had given up on using that option. However, I'm guessing those errors were due to the fact that I was using the default configuration, so I'm going to give it another try.

I'm working on running Configure on the target right now, however I need to get my very minimalistic target system up to the point where it can actually run Configure. The difficulty with this system is that nearly everything is cross-compiled, so there is very little in the way of standard utilities on the target. Hopefully I can get this to work out.

Going back to the buildroot method I was trying: Does anyone know why building full perl as part of the buildroot make is such a problem, even though I'm able to successfully build microperl that way? Is it likely that there are inherent issues with building full perl that way or might it just be that I still have problems with my makefile for the full perl buildroot make?
