I was looking also at the part he highlighted:

Failure's on the "mv" command, perhaps (not being flippant, it might be a
misleading error output).

.deps is not a typically Windows-accepted directory, but maybe it's finally
compatible... assuming this is a windows build.

I think .deps/<thing>.Tpo tends to be a dependency file that's created by
the toolchain as it builds an object file.

Try:
1) configuring out the perl plugin
2) creating an empty per/.deps/perl.Tpo file to copy into perl.po
3) a clean build (i.e. there might be some process that works before this
that was interrupted)
4) see why the .Tpo isn't being created -- is it possible that your
Makefile is made for UNIX/Linux?  Not ported?
