I'm wondering if a better approach to fixing this might be to change
intltool.m4 so where it says AC_PATH_PROG(INTLTOOL_PERL, perl), it says
AC_PATH_PROG(INTLTOOL_PERL, nativeperl) instead, at least in the
sysroot.

Another option would be a class that did:

DEPENDS =+ "intltool"
export INTLTOOL_PERL = "nativeperl"

although I think I prefer correcting the intltool m4 macro slightly
more. Or do we just add the export to the core in bitbake.conf or
autotools.bbclass?...

Cheers,

Richard
