Hmm, it seems glibc can already build w/o Perl (if you don't care the
info pages which need Texinfo).  I happened to figure that out after
forgetting the temporary Perl and Texinfo installations before building
glibc when I performed a test build of Linux From Scratch manually
several days ago.

Also reducing the Perl scripts won't help too much for distros as
Texinfo is still in Perl and the distros will need the info pages
anyway.
