Building without perl

[Kim Scarborough]

I can't seem to compile 3.5p1 on a Solaris 9 box with gcc and GNU make. The 
box does not have perl installed on it. When I run configure, it correctly 
detects the absence of perl on the system, but make dies immediately trying to 
run "fixpaths", which is a perl script. PERL is set to nothing in the Makefile.

Is perl required? The docs don't say it is... if not, how do I get around this?
