This bug hit me when updating the MSVC-build script in contrib.
In a fully cleaned installation there is no PM.stamp file and the perl.mak file fails with a message that can easily be misunderstood. In my case I was doing a `make` dry run, so the rebuilding of the perlscrip list (commit 07981dc) never happened.
The wider patch series somehow never made it onto vger (don't know why) but the original is at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/msysgit/aj4v9ZpMIJo/2BA68P0saT0J
