Failure to build on M1 MacBook Pro

[Ben Salisbury]

Hi all.  I hope I have a minor error here that I'm missing.  I'm attempting to upgrade Sage after a while on a MBP with M1 Max running Sequoia 15.3.2.  I've confirmed that command line tools are installed. Then

• I pulled from the develop branch
• ran `make distclean`
• ensured that all Homebrew packages were installed and up-to-date
• ran `source ./.homebrew-build-env`
  
• ran `make build -j8`

The build only lasts for a few seconds and here is complete (short) terminal output.  Any idea what's going wrong?

it is a Homebrew issue, I forgot where it was mentioned. (search the last couple of weeks of messages here)
Update/upgrade Homebrew, reinstall perl.

[Ben Salisbury]

I looked through past messages and didn't see a similar issue (though I don't doubt that it did and I just missed it).  I updated and upgraded Homebrew and reinstalled perl but got exactly the same error.  Here is the output again and, below that, is info on my perl version.

 make configure

By default non-brewed cpan modules are installed to the Cellar. If you wish
for your modules to persist across updates we recommend using `local::lib`.

You can set that up like this:
  PERL_MM_OPT="INSTALL_BASE=$HOME/perl5" cpan local::lib
And add the following to your shell profile e.g. ~/.profile or ~/.zshrc
  eval "$(perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib=$HOME/perl5)"

My bad, sorry - you need to reinstall the failing perl's consumer,
which still tries to use Perl which is no longer there.
(I think it's autoconf Homebrew package you need to re-install)
