Erm... we have been using perl_privlibexp basically forever... What
version of perl is this? It might be helpful if you could provide the
output of the following:
$ perl -e 'use Config; print "$Config{privlibexp}\n";'
$ ls `perl -e 'use Config; print "$Config{privlibexp}\n";'`/ExtUtils

I get:
$ perl -e 'use Config; print "$Config{privlibexp}\n";'
/usr/share/perl5/core_perl

$ ls `perl -e 'use Config; print "$Config{privlibexp}\n";'`/ExtUtils

typemap
xsubpp

Here we can see both typemap and xsubpp where we expect them.

Why are you using that for the typemap? it looks like you just used
find and decided to use the first file it found named 'typemap'... It
would be interesting to know where the real typemap file is. Maybe you
could paste the output of find /usr -name typemap?
