[Bug 2131901] Re: perl: FTBFS in resolute - test failure

[John Chittum]

was hoping this got fixed in 0.5.0 but the commit to fix the issue is
later.

https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/commit/5d4abd88e95c628310d0a79c341cae25b51e8345

this is also more than a build time error. Because of how `Perl` calls
`env` this functionality is regressed on resolute in general. Attached
is a trivial reproducer that can be run on any system.
