Oops! Thanks! I really must get a smoke-me branch up to shake out such
things.

For the record my current options are: ./Configure -des -Dusedevel
-Dusecrosscompile -Dtargethost="emulator-5554" -Dtargetdir=/data/data/test
-Dsysroot=/usr/src/android/android-ndk-r8/platforms/android-8/arch-arm/
-Dcc=arm-linux-androideabi-gcc linux
targetarch/osname are derived from the gcc name as "linux-androideabi"
with these settings.
I dropped crosscompileprefix again, I'm now using the branch
https://github.com/castaway/perl/tree/jrobinson/configure-for-cross which
doesn't have it.

Hmm, Do you have the resulting Makefile and config.sh available? It should
set "hostperl" to be host/miniperl, which ends up in the Makefile as
HOST_PERL, and when that's set, the MINIPERL_EXE rule should end up with
rm $MINIPERL_EXE; ln -s $HOST_PERL $MINIPERL_EXE much like yours did.
Maybe I have some bashisms in there too?

The resulting Makefile/config.sh files would be more useful.
Thanks for the testing!
