Hi there, I built OpenSSL 1.1.0-pre3 with
PERL="/usr/bin/env perl" This has the nice effect, that any generated perl artefact that itself uses perl via the "#!" notation contains #!/usr/bin/env perl and not the perl path to which "/usr/bin/env perl" resolves during build time on the build machine. The only tweak I had to apply to make this work, was quoting a few lines that use PERL=$(PERL) in Makefile.in: --- Makefile.in 2016-02-15 20:51:46.000000000 +0100 +++ Makefile.in 2016-02-16 00:28:16.510730000 +0100 @@ -512,8 +512,8 @@ errors: $(PERL) util/ck_errf.pl -strict */*.c */*/*.c $(PERL) util/mkerr.pl -recurse -write - (cd engines; $(MAKE) PERL=$(PERL) errors) - (cd crypto/ct; $(MAKE) PERL=$(PERL) errors) + (cd engines; $(MAKE) PERL="$(PERL)" errors) + (cd crypto/ct; $(MAKE) PERL="$(PERL)" errors) ordinals: util/libeay.num util/ssleay.num test_ordinals TABLE util/libeay.num:: @@ -521,7 +521,7 @@ util/ssleay.num:: $(PERL) util/mkdef.pl ssl update test_ordinals: - TOP=$(TOP) PERL=$(PERL) $(PERL) test/run_tests.pl test_ordinals + TOP=$(TOP) PERL="$(PERL)" $(PERL) test/run_tests.pl test_ordinals TABLE: Configure Configurations/*.conf (echo 'Output of `Configure TABLE'"':"; \ --- test/Makefile.in 2016-02-15 20:51:48.000000000 +0100 +++ test/Makefile.in 2016-02-16 00:28:16.545897000 +0100 @@ -155,12 +155,12 @@ @sh $(TOP)/util/point.sh dummytest.c $@ tests: exe apps - TOP=$(TOP) PERL=$(PERL) $(PERL) run_tests.pl $(TESTS) + TOP=$(TOP) PERL="$(PERL)" $(PERL) run_tests.pl $(TESTS) errors: list-tests: - @TOP=$(TOP) PERL=$(PERL) $(PERL) run_tests.pl list + @TOP=$(TOP) PERL="$(PERL)" $(PERL) run_tests.pl list apps: @(cd ..; $(MAKE) DIRS=apps all) You might want to consider this change. Looking through all assignments in Makefile.in files and ignoring the possible use of paths with spaces (people shouldn't use them), i see one other line which might benefit from quoting. It is in test/Makefile.in: top: (cd ..; $(MAKE) DIRS=$(DIR) TESTS=$(TESTS) all) Here the TESTS=$(TESTS) by default assigns "alltests" which is just one token, but the plural form of the variable suggests one could also set it to contain multiple test names and then the above line might fail.
