Don't know. I always use perl and let the script do whatever
it wants with that file.

Probably.

What is cc symlinked to? ls -l `which cc` The link is supposed
to be to your compiler (gcc): ln -sf /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc
or cd /usr/bin; ln -sf gcc cc

I built perl from source code one time (it doesn't require
anything that is not in the uclibc root, iirc) and the other
time, when I made libc5 netpbm, I used perl with glibc first
and then moved the configured netpbm source into the
libc5 root.
