That miniperl is meant to be renamed to miniperl-arm and then
symlinked to hostperl, so you end up with something like this:

 [nynaeve][12:28AM]~/devel/oe/build/titan-glibc-24/tmp/work/perl-5.8.7-r21/perl-5.8.7%> file miniperl miniperl-arm hostperl
 miniperl:     symbolic link to `hostperl'
 miniperl-arm: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Hitachi SH, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.4.0, not stripped
 hostperl:     ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.4.0, not stripped

I can't think of any reason why that would have broken. I've done
full rebuilds targeting sh4 and i486 in the past few hours with no
problems.

Probably need to see the full log to see why the Makefile failed to
do this when it was meant to.
