+**perl-cross** provides configure script, top-level Makefile

+    curl -L -O http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.24.1.tar.gz
+    curl -L -O https://github.com/arsv/perl-cross/releases/download/1.1.3/perl-cross-1.1.3.tar.gz

+    ./configure --target=arm-linux-gnueabi --prefix=/usr -Duseshrplib
+    make -j4
+    make DESTDIR=/path/to/staging/dir install
+
+Unlike mainline Perl, this configure never runs any target executables,  
+relying solely on compile/link tests and pre-defined hints.  
+On the flip side, it is only meant to run on resonably sane modern unix systems.  
+
+Check [project pages](http://arsv.github.io/perl-cross/) for more info.  
+In particular, [configure usage](http://arsv.github.io/perl-cross/usage.html)
+lists available configure options.
+
+Perl-cross is a free software licensed under the same terms
+as the original perl source.

+Fixes to make the perl build reproducible:
+
+a) Remove the \n from configure_attr.sh since it gets quoted differently depending on
+   whether the shell is bash or dash which can cause the test result to be incorrect.
+   Reported upstream: https://github.com/arsv/perl-cross/issues/87
+
+b) Sort the order of the module lists from configure_mods.sh since otherwise
+   the result isn't the same leading to makefile differences.
+   Reported upstream: https://github.com/arsv/perl-cross/issues/88
+
+c) Sort the Encode::Byte byte_t.fnm file output (and the makefile depends whilst 
+   there for good measure)
+   This needs to go to upstream perl (not done)
+
+d) Use bash for perl-cross configure since otherwise trnl gets set to "\n" with bash
+   and "" with dash
+   Reported upstream: https://github.com/arsv/perl-cross/issues/87
