I built a native perl (very slowly indeed on a 'fast model') in the aarch64 port. But I also built a somewhat bodged cross perl first (using Neil's debian-perl-cross and a manually-obtained (from the fast model) file of perl config data). I can't remember if the latter was used to make the former, or if it was independent. And I didn't record this info on https://wiki.debian.org/Arm64Port#Packages_that_don.27t_cross_build (up one para) This is long-winded way of saying "no I don't know, but I should" :-) Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Debian, Wookware, ARM http://wookware.org/
