Package: perl
Version: 5.26.1-2
Severity: normal

Hi,
after upgrading to libc6 2.26 from experimental, I started seeing following 
error messages from cron/sa-compile

                             |In file included from body_0.xs:2:0:
                             
|/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.26/CORE/perl.h:738:13: fatal error: 
xlocale.h: No such file or directory
                             | #   include <xlocale.h>
                             |             ^~~~~~~~~~~
                             |compilation terminated.
                             |make: *** [body_0.o] Error 1
                             |command 'make 
>>/tmp/.spamassassin19158ehbB3utmp/log' failed: exit 2

As stated in the relese notes of glibc, the header file xlocale.h was removed 
with the 2.26 release.

I saw, that the inclusion of this header is protected by a I_XLOCALE define, so 
it should be possible to reconfigure perl to not need/use this
header with older glibc versions, which do still provide this header.

regards

Petr
