Before, trying to compile some perl modules on arm fails with an
error like
t/01-simple.t ..... 5/7 "./add": error: Android 5.0 and later only support position-independent executables (-fPIE).
No idea why it occurs on arm but not on aarch64 or x86_64. Error
should probably be fixed properly elsewhere in perl's source code, but
let's go for this easy fix for now. Adding -pie here also introduces
warnings when building perl packages on device due to clang -E not
recognizing it, but at least they compile..
Tested on lineage-18.1 arm tablet.
I.e. preprocessor mode. This silences warning messages both when
cross-compiling perl and when compiling perl packages on device.
Note that the main perl binary ends up with RUNPATH set to
$PREFIX/lib/perl5/5.32.1/arm-android/CORE, instead of $PREFIX/lib
_and_ $PREFIX/lib/perl5/5.32.1/arm-android/CORE. perl only links
against the standard libraries and libperl.so though, and the latter
is in $PREFIX/lib/perl5/5.32.1/arm-android/CORE so there should be no
need to add $PREFIX/lib to RUNPATH (unless I am missing something).
Tested by running perl and installing some perl modules on an arm
tablet,
In issue https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/issues/6160 I have found
that community repo "its-pointless.github.io" specifies us as maintainer
for its packages. This is NOT TRUE and potentially misleads people using
these packages.
Now TERMUX_PKG_MAINTAINER will contain a default value which is neutral
and not specify maintainer. So all packages now have to override it to
the correct value.

should not accept arbitrary values for marking them "enabled". Instead
they should accept boolean values which makes them easier to handle and
also makes their meaning clear.
build-package.sh should make decision based on variable's value but not on
whether it is set or empty.
