Package: perl
Version: 5.26.0-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-h...@lists.debian.org

Perl 5.26 (currently in experimental) has never built on hppa yet. It's
failing with

  ./miniperl -Ilib make_ext.pl cpan/Archive-Tar/pm_to_blib  
MAKE="/usr/bin/make" LIBPERL_A=libperl.a
  Unsuccessful Makefile.PL(cpan/Archive-Tar): code=11 at make_ext.pl line 518.
  Makefile:586: recipe for target 'cpan/Archive-Tar/pm_to_blib' failed
  make[1]: *** [cpan/Archive-Tar/pm_to_blib] Error 2
  make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
  debian/rules:124: recipe for target 'perl.static' failed
  make: *** [perl.static] Error 2
  dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build-arch gave error exit status 2

so it looks like something's seriously wrong.

I don't intend to work on this myself (at least in the short term)
but patches are welcome of course.

I'm copying the debian-hppa list. We're very close to a transition to 5.26
in sid, so there's a danger of hppa getting left behind.  Apologies for
the late notice.
