There is no patch, what patch you talking about?

? http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/shortlog/436ead35c86d598eff4ebdaa79725ea1f36e56fc ?

This is just a documentation change in 5.14.2

Or ?SMOKE436ead35c86d598eff4ebdaa79725ea1f36e56fc?

I'm pretty sure this is only the result of running configure for the automated smoke testing, not actual changes to 5.14.2 -- if they were, i'm sure http://search.cpan.org/~tonyc/ would have pushed the changes upstream

Unfortunately I don't understand enough about perl to code the cross compiling information in the first reply

README.new tells you to read README, which has some instruction, and also tells you to read INSTALL, and round and round we go :)

So try one of those instructions and see if they work for you.

If they don't, try

Given that gcc can be cross compiled, the approach I would take (yes, seriously) is to cross compile a native gcc (and binutils and make) and then build locally. Yes, the actual build might take a day or more. But that's less than the "few days" you've already spent.
