Has anyone managed to build Perl v5.x on/for the EBSA-285
[StrongARM/SA-110]? I've tried to natively build a variety of Perl 5.5x and
5.6x packages on the EBSA, but they all use the '/bin/sort' command during
the build which causes a memory exhaustion error. [The EBSA has only 16 MB
of SDRAM installed...] I've also tried to cross compile those packages, but
the configure scripts do not support cross compilation. The problem is,
without Perl I cannot (natively) compile Linux kernels, gcc, glibc, and a
variety of other tools and utilities (e.g., package managers).
FWIW, I'm currently looking into buying more memory for the board, but until
I can find a vendor that sells the required SDRAM chips, I'm more-or-less
stuck. Any suggestions???
