I see this problem on Zaurus as well.

Yes.

Well. I was thinking so as well. But if you call /usr/bin/env perl -w
from the command line, then it works as expected. In #! line it does not
work. Neither in busybox env nor in coreutils env. It's probably
expected behavior and the problem is introduced by
recipes/autoconf/autoconf-2.63/path_prog_fixes.patch.

We would probably need ac_cv_path_ magic, exactly as it is done in
recipes/libtool. It seems to work properly for both native and target.
