hmm it seems more userspace expects CONFIG_HZ, so it's not only a perl
build breakage..

anything using CONFIG_HZ is absolutely broken. go fix the package.

anything using HZ should be converted to sysconf(), but i'm not about to go on
that crusade to fix things up

i'm guessing you're thinking packages are using CONFIG_HZ when in reality they
arent. the asm-alpha/param.h in 2.6.25 does:
#define HZ CONFIG_HZ
so anything using HZ would end up with an error message about CONFIG_HZ being
undefined

um, that was a fairly important piece of information which was cruelly
hidden from us - thanks.

I happened to have already planned on sending this fix in for 2.6.26
but it wasn't an obvious call.
