Sorry, my bad, I thought it had been applied and was the reason of the
failure. I will investigate what is causing this new breakage.

Gustavo, your work on Perl is really appreciated, but I think it's also
fair to have a discussion on the pros and cons of various changes.

I am completely in favor of a solution where host-microperl gets built
when microperl for the target is selected since as you say, it is the
only solution to reliably build XS Perl modules for the target.

However, I wanted us to *investigate* the potential solutions to build
host-microperl *only* when microperl for the target is selected, and
not when we need a simple random utility such as intltool running on
the host.
