Perl build with perl-cross had . in @INC. This sets -Ddefault_inc_excludes_dot explicitly when cross compiling to avoid that.

$ $(nix-build -A pkgsCross.aarch64-multiplatform.perl)/bin/perl -V | grep -A10 \@INC
  @INC:
    /nix/store/ydwsg1alzk104qpvv7ayrkkbj1b7hyib-perl-5.32.0-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.32.0/aarch64-linux
    /nix/store/ydwsg1alzk104qpvv7ayrkkbj1b7hyib-perl-5.32.0-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.32.0
    /nix/store/ydwsg1alzk104qpvv7ayrkkbj1b7hyib-perl-5.32.0-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/perl5/5.32.0/aarch64-linux
    /nix/store/ydwsg1alzk104qpvv7ayrkkbj1b7hyib-perl-5.32.0-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/perl5/5.32.0
    .

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

perl-cross set `default_inc_excludes_dot` to undefined by default. This
sets `-Ddefault_inc_excludes_dot` explicitly when cross compiling.

This was quickly fixed upstream arsv/perl-cross@f59d2b6 ❤️

Will keep the current patch in place so it can be backported to 20.09 and 20.03 without bumping perl-cross

So this is making cross perl match native perl?

Yes that's correct.
