+Makefile: Avoid continual rebuilds of miniperl and associated races 
+
+In the Yocto Project, when we run "make install" we notice miniperl
+rebuilding multiple times. Usually this is harmless however sometimes
+race issues occur such as miniperl not being executable.
+
+The issue is that crosspatch is a phony target so it always rebuilds.
+Adding this as a dependency of miniperl means miniperl always rebuilds
+too.
+
+Avoid this by injecting a direct dependency avoiding the phony target.
+miniperl is then only rebuilt when its input changes as desired.
