Comment (by mojca@…):

 Unrelated, but weird: while doing some tests and compiling `perl5.16`, the
 compilation failed with
 {{{
 error: use of undeclared identifier 'KERN_PROC_PATHNAME'
 }}}
 In the next attempt it ran just fine, so I'm slightly confused.

 The above change seems to fix the problem of circular dependency, but I
 would like your confirmation just in case. Thanks a lot for spotting this.

 And another tiny request: can you please try to revbump all the `perl5.x`
 ports locally and check if you notice any problems? We had a working perl
 that I broke for a few hours, but some users upgraded exactly in that time
 window, so we should revbump. I just want to avoid revbumping to a broken
 version and risk breaking everyone's installation, not just the one of
 those who were unlucky enough to upgrade at that time.
