We need the newer version of > miniperl to build perl, correct? Yes, exactly. We were only building libperl (statically) and miniperl in the build-tools stage, so that miniperl (statically linked with libperl) is available for the building later. The choice to use crosstools is easier, since it by default installs the tool into the "strict path", but Mark used build-tools and a path to miniperl to do it instead, presumably since it is restricted to a very minor bit of the tree. (This reminds me that I have a skeleton document about 'make world' that needs serious attention. Too many projects.)
