Hi!

As discussed on IRC, I tried to apply perl-cross
(https://github.com/arsv/perl-cross) to make perl actually cross build
for our Hurd VM.

There's some weirdness wrt some pod scripts; no idea.  I haven't gotten
round to test the package itself yet on the Hurd.

Also, first tests on the Hurd show a possible problem with Perl's
system or shell -- no idea.

I get things like

    Can't exec "": No such file or directory at /gnu/store/dd5a35aca6411w5l29ask7pl626v8j4r-perl-5.30.2/lib/perl5/5.30.2/i586-/Cwd.pm line 204.
    Can't exec "": No such file or directory at /gnu/store/mfnmg1m37kyrb65alnj6jn2fzw7zkapw-autoconf-cross-2.69/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 345.

to me that's just as cryptic as Perl code itself.  I'll have a look into
that later tonight.

Greetings,
janneke
