<para>First adapt some hard-wired paths to the C library:</para>

<screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../&perl-libc-patch;</userinput></screen>

<para>And make sure some static extensions get built:</para>

<screen><userinput>chmod u+w hints/linux.sh
echo 'static_ext="IO re Fcntl"' >> hints/linux.sh</userinput></screen>

<para>Now prepare Perl for compilation:</para>

<screen><userinput>./configure.gnu --prefix=/tools</userinput></screen>

<para>Compile only the required tools:</para>

<screen><userinput>make perl utilities</userinput></screen>

<para>Then copy these tools and their libraries:</para>

<screen><userinput>cp perl pod/pod2man /tools/bin
mkdir -p /tools/lib/perl5/5.8.0
cp -R lib/* /tools/lib/perl5/5.8.0</userinput></screen>
