Right, this is indeed the case. Normally libc6-dev (for each arch) has
/usr/include/errno.h, but the rebootstrap-built toolchain has this in
/usr/include/<triplet>/errno.h (I hadn't realised this until today).

It seems that few packages early in the build tree notice, but perl
(when being cross-built) is one of them.

I'll file a bug shortly.
