Details

Description: the perl package provides file 'perl.h' in /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl/CORE/ which includes header file 'xlocale.h' if macro I_XLOCALE is defined. That macro is defined in 'config.h' located in the same directory and created at building time.

With new glibc 2.26 (currently in testing) the 'xlocale.h' file is removed (see https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release/2.26#Removal_of_.27xlocale.h.27) so perl needs to be rebuilt. Before that any package that use "builtin" perl (that includes the 'perl.h') will fail to compile, for example vim.

P.S. Earlier I wrongly marked the perl _package_ as being "out-of-dated", as was noted to me by Florian Pritz. I'm sorry, I was confused by the fact that perl itself works fine but only compilation of a program that includes 'perl.h' fails.
This task depends upon

I think this ought to be tagged with higher severity. The reach of this is substantial; a lot of software will not successfully build until this is done.

Some useful details here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1464244

Please check if perl 5.26.0-3 from [testing] works for you.

Installed perl 5.26.0-3 from testing and it fixed a build issue that I was seeing. Thank you for the very quick fix.

I just successfully built vim-git after updating to the perl in [testing].

EDIT: ooh, a minute too late. :D

Thank you, now vim compiles fine.
