To follow up on this, I've determined that the problem appears to be fixed
in the Perl 5.8 included in Red Hat 8.0. The problem is limited to
perl-5.6.1-26.72.3 from RH7.2 Updates. (I haven't yet checked 5.6.1-34.99.6
from RH7.3.)
I tried creating a runt Makefile.PL like this:
use Config;
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
WriteMakefile('NAME' => 'Mail::SpamAssassin');
Building with "perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/var/tmp" results in bad values for
INSTALLSITELIB (among others). It looks like some bug in the prefix code in
this Perl distribution. There's a lot of changes in the ExtUtils directory
(home of MakeMaker) between 5.6.1 and 5.8.
If SA is to remain buildable under 7.2, then I suggest using Jan's command
line in the spec file to work around the broken path logic in the old
MakeMaker module.
