I have no idea what the "REBUILDS" directory is on your system, but
ELDK 4.2 already contains Perl, so there is no need to rebuild it - or
if you want to rebuild it, then there is at least no need for
additional packages.

This has been mentioned a couple of times before her eon the list and
in the documentation. ELDK 4.2 is based on Fedora 7.

Just check the official MIRRORS lists...

Fix the build problems until it works, then submit a patch.

You should probably do that. Then try and seed the config tool with
correct config information for the target (ac_cv_* settings, see other
spec files).

And PLEASE stop top-posting / full-quoting. It's a PITA.
