The following perl ptests: - dist/ExtUtils-ParseXS/t/001-basic - dist/ExtUtils-ParseXS/t/002-more - dist/ExtUtils-ParseXS/t/003-usage - cpan/ExtUtils-Constant/t/Constant - cpan/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/t/02-xsdynamic are erroring out with: | /usr/lib/perl/ptest/perl_langinfo.h:8:10: fatal error: xconfig.h: No such file or directory | 8 | #include "xconfig.h" xconfig.h contains references to the build host architecture and was removed by commit 2e0f30c46802 ("perl: do not install files that contain build host specific data") However, it is still included from various other places including these tests, and we are still depending on build host architecture data by including the patches from perl-cross recipe, a dependency to perl recipe. xconfig.h was added back as a copy step in the commit 5b18d7a0c048 ("update 5.36.1 -> 5.38.0") but was not added back in perl-ptest include file. Borrowed the logic from the above commit to make a copy of config.h that is specific to the target architecture. The changes in this commit fixes the test failures.
