And thus ended my Cygwin Perl installation. No matter of rebaseall-ing or complete Cygwin reinstalls could fix it, and I don't even understand precicely what the error is.

So a short while later, I had myself an ActiveState ActivePerl install, perl-cygwin.sh (a wrapper I wrote to use ActivePerl in places expecting Cygwin Perl), and some tweaks to makexpi.sh to let me specify the Perl engine (save me doing path & symlink hacks). And thus it did build! Yay!
