The naming scheme changed.  D+LL name is cygperl_5.8.dll and directories
are named .../5.8/...  The reason is that you can keep your modules when
5.8.7 is released, unless binary compatibility breaks.

Then -L/usr/lib/w32api is missing in hints/cygwin.pl.

This is annoying, I get it occasionally, I believe it is a bug in
MakeMaker, but I couldn't find it yet.  Does the build continue if you 
add the missing tab and run make again?
