[oe] [PATCH 0/5] Relocatable perl-native and use it always

[Tom Rini]

Hey all,

As I've talked about before[1] there's build reproducibility issues
depending on when perl-native is built.  After talking with Mark Hatle
a little bit I started thinking about relocation in perl again and it
turns out that starting in 5.10, upstream perl supports relocation.

This in turn makes it less painful to make perl-native be what we use
when we want perl runtime, nearly everywhere (since you can use pstaging
to avoid it the time next time).

This patch set drops perl 5.8.8 and bumps all of the perl stuffs PR,
switches to relocatable perl-native, and then the big switch to using it
early.

Build tested on {minimal+qemuarm,angstrom-2008.1+beagleboard}+all perl
libs and run tested on minimal+qemuarm+native-sdk-image.
