Since 07d90eadb50 (Makefile: add Perl runtime prefix support, 2018-04-10) we have been declaring PERL_DEFINES right after assigning to it, with the effect that the first PERL_DEFINES was ignored.

That bug didn't matter in practice since the first line had all the same variables as the second, so we'd correctly re-generate everything. It just made for confusing reading.

Let's remove that first assignment, and while we're at it split these across lines to make them more maintainable.
