Is that right? I thought it was possible to compile a tarball without
using Python? If so it should be possible to build the Perl bindings on
a platform that doesn't have Python.

We can assume that anyone building the Perl bindings has Perl, so how
about using a perl version of the Python command:

READLINK_PL=$(PERL) -e 'use Cwd; print Cwd::realpath($ARGV[0])'
