Create /dev/null?  Who is doing that here?  Why /dev/null isn't present?

This is the real problem, but it has its roots in problem of
invocation of
{{{
/usr/local/bin/perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ";"
}}}
and ExtUtils::Embed is the core Perl package, so I wonder what's
going on here.  But I suspect that first we need to find out
why /dev/null isn't here, since my build on my Tinderbox,
  http://gpf.codelabs.ru/tb-logs/mine-8/exim-sa-exim-4.80.1+4.2_2.log
is fine and Perl 5.14.4 (as well as the other versions) built by the
same Tinderbox has ExtUtils::Embed:
{{{
$ tar tf perl-5.14.4.tbz   | grep -i extutils | grep -i embed
lib/perl5/5.14/perl/man/man3/ExtUtils::Embed.3.gz
lib/perl5/5.14/ExtUtils/Embed.pm

$ tar tf perl-5.16.2_1.tbz   | grep -i extutils | grep -i embed
lib/perl5/5.16.2/perl/man/man3/ExtUtils::Embed.3.gz
lib/perl5/5.16.2/ExtUtils/Embed.pm
}}}
