Avoid a shell syntax error, when building with an inadequate Perl.

it can expand to "/.../missing perl".

Handle better the combination of old Perl and a pre-c99 compiler.

perl is missing or not a sufficient version, do nothing.

Honor dd's noatime flag if possible, even if not supported on build fs
* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Warn that noatime might not be
reliable.
* src/dd.c (flags, usage): Look at O_NOATIME, not
HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME, to decide whether to support the noatime
flag, so that dd attempts O_NOATIME even if the build file system
does not support it. Problem reported by Jim Meyering today in
bug-coreutils.

exists but fails.

Adjust preceding change not to perform an unaligned access.

Placate valgrind, wrt ./cp --sparse=always
* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Place the sentinel by setting a
full word's worth of bits, not just a single byte's worth.
This avoids a harmless (but distracting) case of memory being
used-uninitialized.
