Bug#620189: perl: please include multiarch lib dirs at build time

[Steve Langasek]

Package: perl
Version: 5.10.1-17
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: vorlon at debian.org
Usertags: multiarch

Hi folks,

Please consider applying the attached patch to perl in Debian; this (or
something like it) is needed to let perl build on a system whose libraries
are converted to use the multiarch directories.  Since this transition is
expected to start in Debian unstable as soon as dpkg 1.16.0 is uploaded, it
would be great if perl could be fixed for this early.

This patch will be uploaded shortly to Ubuntu with the following
explanation in the changelog:

  * debian/config.debian: pass multiarch paths to the build (if 
    available) so that we're able to find libraries needed to build.
    LP: #739693.

It is safe to apply this change in advance of the dpkg 1.16.0 upload.  With
a pre-multiarch dpkg, dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH returns nothing
and the build should proceed normally, ignoring these dirs.
