No opinion on the opie stuff, but I'm using perl 5.10.1 for quite a
while, so that part has my ack.
(maybe split into two patches, one for opie, one for perl).

I see different problems with perl 5.10.1 + uclibc + p2020ds, so I guess 
this is fine with me.

If others are happy (and ack) the combined thing that is fine with me,
but as a non-opie user or builder I cannot ack the opie part.

Khem fixed it tonight.  At heart, there's been a need to make much 
better use of the libc-uclibc override rather than testing TARGET_OS as 
there's at least 'linux-uclibc', 'linux-uclibceabi' and 
'linux-uclibcspe' as valid TARGET_OS combinations.  perl has been doing 
a test for the first two and Khem added a test for the 3rd.  This got me 
to go and audit the recipes for using the _linux-uclibc append and 
switching them en masse to libc-uclibc.  There were a very small number 
of places that had been catching all 3, but for the most part it was 80% 
catching the first two and 20% catching just linux-uclibc.  I believe 
but didn't check that Khem caught the rest of the places that were 
testing for TARGET_OS in shell code and updated them for linux-uclibcspe.

I thought about it and indeed it would be better to have a LIBC override
but its defined in .inc files which may not be included by all
distributions, if this makes into bitbake.conf somehow then that would
be better or we can decide to have a global data var called LIBC or some
sort.

We already did this.  A distro that doesn't pull in the right libc inc 
file is either broken or on its own (I forget and can't check atm if 
Angstrom uses the files eventually or just also has the libc-foo 
OVERRIDES, but is correct here).  We also have LIBC as a global env way 
to say what LIBC to use (Angstrom has ANGSTROMLIBC and LIBC since they 
originated the feature).

yes angstrom does. Ok I moved slugos to use it recently so its no more broken :)

nice we can use LIBC as well if need be but override is more elegant

Um, when did SlugOS break then?  When I introduced the libc overrides I 
moved everyone over to it.

Yes, LIBC shouldn't be parsed like that, it's like MACHINE :)
