Most / All of the arm compiler optimisations are "borrowed"
from this excellent project.
+(Further discussion about cross-compiling Perl in the top level
+INSTALL file, see the section "Cross-compilation".)

The main target is arm-linux but I have also managed to
successfully cross-compile Perl for Solaris x86 using the same
buildsystem.
and target combination. The binary directory must be in
your path.
-1) You should be reading me (README) in perl-5.8.1/Cross
+1) You should be reading me (README) in perl-5.x.y/Cross
2) Make sure you are in the Cross directory.
Your built Perl environment is in install_me_here/ in your build
directory. From here you can package and deploy as you wish.
-The Obvious Ommissions
-----------------------
+Omissions
+----------
-This does NOT perform any installation as site installation method
-will be dependent on the target architecture and OS.
+This does NOT perform any installation.
-make test will NOT work as the binaries and libraries will not execute
-on your BUILD machine.
+Make test will NOT work.
-Due to space limitations on the Zaurus (it's a PDA) we do not provide
-documentation in the core - Therefore man pages are not even generated.
+We do not provide documentation in the core, man pages are not generated.
Other Targets (For Developers)
------------------------------
architectures you can add the appropriate compiler flags to
the Makefile in a new ifeq ($(ARCH),...) ... endif block.
