This package is definitely not present in Fedora 9-11 32 and 64bit. I recently
did a fresh install of these 6 environments and found them all to be lacking,
even when I installed perl-devel.

As for not testing dist packaging errors, my take is that we're just making
sure that if make fails, it's clear why. If this test isn't there, the reason
for the failure scrolls off the screen before make finally fails.
