We have received reports of builds of perl occasionally failing when
building with many parallel jobs, with a log like the following:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=[...]/perl/perl-5.40.0 ./miniperl -Ilib make_ext.pl \
dist/constant/pm_to_blib MAKE="make" LIBPERL_A=libperl.so
File/Path.pm did not return a true value at [...]/hostpkg/usr/lib/perl5/5.40.0/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 13.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at [...]/hostpkg/usr/lib/perl5/5.40.0/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 13.
Compilation failed in require at Makefile.PL line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 3.
Unsuccessful Makefile.PL(dist/constant): code=65280 at make_ext.pl line 532.
The failing extension (dist/constant in the above log) would differ
between runs.
The cause of the issue is the `-Ilib` in the command line of miniperl.
In the host build, `./miniperl -I lib` will use the following include
path:
[..]/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.40.0/cpan/AutoLoader/lib
[..]/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.40.0/dist/Carp/lib

[..]/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.40.0/cpan/ExtUtils-PL2Bat/lib
[..]/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.40.0/lib
.
Various dependencies of the extension build scripts (Makefile.PL) -
including File-Path, which failed to be loaded in the error log - are
included in the path by buildcustomize.pl, as these extensions are only
installed to `lib` as the build proceeds.
However, in a target build, miniperl is just a symlink to the previously
built host perl. As the host perl does not implicitly load
`buildcustomize.pl`, we get the following include path for
`./miniperl -Ilib`:
lib
[..]/staging_dir/hostpkg/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.40.0/x86_64-linux
[..]/staging_dir/hostpkg/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.40.0
[..]/staging_dir/hostpkg/usr/lib/perl5/5.40.0/x86_64-linux
[..]/staging_dir/hostpkg/usr/lib/perl5/5.40.0
The host perl's install location is used as the default include path
which provides File-Path etc. for the target build; however, as more
and more libraries get installed into `lib` during the extension build,
they may get loaded from there instead, as `lib` is at the beginning of
the include path. When multiple extensions are built in parallel, a
Makefile.PL may attempt to load File/Path from `lib` after the file has
been created, but before its contents have been written fully, resulting
in the build to fail.
In fact, we should not load anything from `lib` during the target build,
as it is the staging directory for the target, including native
extensions built for the target architecture - with one exception: The
build scripts expect to find target information in the `Config` module,
so simply removing `lib` from the include path completely would break
the build.
Solve the issue by creating an alternative lib directory `lib_build`,
symlinking `Config.pm` and its dependencies in it, and replacing the
`-Ilib` argument with `-Ilib_build` using a wrapper script around the
host perl executable. This is similar to the approach seen in perl's own
obsolete/broken cross compile scripts (`Cross/Makefile`).
