    I eman what I said: you need to use the target (4.x) version of
    release/Makefile*, and /usr/src matching your running world and
    kernel (5.x). WORLDDIR is not supported by 4.x release/Makefile,
    hence the sequence above.

    You need Perl because 5.x doesn't have Perl in the base system,
    hence initial "make installworld" (which will install 5.x world
    into ${CHROOTDIR}) will not install Perl needed to build a 4.x
    kernel.
