[OE-core] [PATCH 03/10] intltool: inherit perlnative

[Frans Meulenbroeks]

General remark:

I suspect lots of recipes depend on perl if only in their configure scripts.
I guess doing per-patckage staging could improve the visibility of this.

Also wrt /usr/bin/env perl:
I haven't peeked into the source of env, but ideally non-native recipes
should maybe not rely on host packages, only on the ones we build.
E.g. no /usr/bin in PATH wehn building these (and yes, I know that is not
trivial and will trigger some bugs and it also does not help against hard
coded paths, and probalby some progs will cause a pain (e.g. /bin/sh)).
Maybe a chrooted system would be better, but I vaguely recall that this was
once discussed (and presumably rejected).

Another thing we could do is have  our own env program which (in this case)
does not return a path to perl if the native package is not there (and
thereby causing things to fail instead of silently using the host perl).

Have fun!
Frans.
