It's complaining about the lack of libperl.so ... the other one is what
it wants to build.

AFAICT, our configure just believes what perl's ExtUtils::Embed and
Config modules tell it ... it doesn't actually test the results. So I'm
thinking either libperl.so isn't installed, or it isn't where those
modules say it is --- which would be a Perl misconfiguration.
