The shell used by perl to make system calls is by default "/bin/sh". The shell might not be functional due to the incompatibility of host and prefix libc. The problem is hard to detect, but manifests itself especially when LD_PRELOAD or LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set, for example, during perl buliding by miniperl. The most robust and future-proof way to handle this is to pass sh=EPREFIX/bin/sh and targetsh=EPREFIX/bin/sh to Configure. See the attached patch.
