 I tried adding what is in LFS to temp-perl, and the message is

make[1]: Entering directory `/building/perl-5.10.0/ext/Errno'
../../miniperl "-I../../lib" "-I../../lib" Errno_pm.PL Errno.pm
No error definitions found at Errno_pm.PL line 224.
make[1]: *** [Errno.pm] Error 2

 The lines in Errno_pm.PL are:
    # quick sanity check

    die "No error definitions found" unless keys %err;

 My initial assumption is that miniperl lacks the err functionality
(a deliberately vague term).  I'm always wary of trying to alter how
perl is built - it's build system probably seemed a good idea at the
time, but it's one of a kind.

 Maybe we can alter the temp-perl build, or move everything around
(again).  For me, this is not an urgent problem, my script now knows
how to handle coreutils test failures and save the log messages.
