Boss, I beg to differ.

Looks like perl was compiled differently depending on the arch.

If you look at the build logs of armhf [1] , powerpcspe[2] and amd64[3], 
you can see that util.h was found only on armhf

I guess that perl's configure looked elsewhere on powerpcspe and amd64 
to find the required definitions.

On armhf, libbds-dev was indeed installed before build. But I don't know why.

Hope this helps
