Have you compiled perl and required libraries for uclibc?

Done.

/bin/cc -> /usr/bin/ccache*

What is this?  28K

There is also a /gin/gcc - 76K.  It did not help to symlink cc to it.
cc:  No such file or directory.

Now that I have a full linux working on the camera memory card I don't 
really need a dynamic netpbm and might just give up for a while until I 
have more time.    Unless you saved ulibc perl and can post a copy.

I might use my time to compile some linux CAD program.  That and 
Wordperfect or VDE and a DOS database program whose linux version does not 
work are all I am still using frequently in DOS (and kermit so I can print 
emails from the shell account).
