+I got this failure when trying to build ikiwiki version 3.20100403:

+
+Note that I had been trying to upgrade with an installed ikiwiki 3.20091114
+already in place under /opt/ikiwiki. The build does not fail for me
+if I first remove the old ikiwiki installation, nor does it fail with
+3.20100403 or newer installed at /opt/ikiwiki. Hence this is not
+really a critical bug, although it's somewhat perplexing to me why it
+ought to make a difference.
+
+> So, using INSTALL_BASE causes a 'use lib' to be hardcoded into the `.out`
+> files; which overrides the -libdir and the -I, and so the old version
+> of IkiWiki.pm is used.
