When compiling 3.14.11 with INSTALL_LOCATION set in CONFIG_SITE the installation fails with the output below.
I fixed this locally by showing perl where the libraries are by setting, in CONFIG_COMMON
PERL=perl -I $(TOP)/src/tools
Here's the failure:

Thanks for the report. This has already been fixed in the version in Bazaar however; I've attached a patch showing the changes we've made to resolve it, which are a combination of two separate commits.
