That was me ;-). I'm doing the same for hppa now.

Adding it back on. For some reason, adding "noopt" wasn't passed to
the build environment. It builds with the following hack added
to debian/config.debian:

    hppa:*)
        optimize="$optimize${optimize:+ }-O0";;

I will bootstrap perl_5.26 for hppa now.

OK, I wasn't aware of that. That's the first time I am hacking
on the perl package ;).
