#2482: Perl config for toolchain may not exclude host references

---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
As shown in 5.27 (Perl 5.10.0), Configure's parameters can allow Perl to
reference the host's libraries, headers and perl installation, which can
lead to a build failure. If your host system has the GDBM library and
headers installed, Configure can find them and use them as part of its
"let me help you" mode; the build will fail when the GDBM library cannot
be found in the toolchain lib dir.
Since the intent is to build a minimal Perl for the toolchain, I think the
following may be a more proper set of params for Configure:
sh Configure -des -Dprefix=/tools -Dstatic_ext="Data/Dumper Fcntl IO
POSIX" -Donlyextensions="Data/Dumper Fcntl IO POSIX"
-Dglincpth="$LFS/tools/include" -Dglibpth="$LFS/tools/lib"
-Dinc_version_list=none
The desired extensions are linked statically, *only* those extensions are
built, Configure will look only in $LFS for 'extras', and it will not look
for an existing Perl installation to mimic. It should do a better job of
keeping the host out of the tool chain.
