make fails on Linux Kernel >= 4.0.0 as the myconfig.h symlink is missing:
uname -rs
Linux 4.0.4-gentoo
perl Makefile.PL
WARNING: No appropriate hints found for this OS: 'Linux 4.0.4-gentoo - see INSTALL'
make
cp Quota.pm blib/lib/Quota.pm
AutoSplitting blib/lib/Quota.pm (blib/lib/auto/Quota)

chmod 644 Quota.bs

You need to make a myconfig.h. See the file INSTALL.
Makefile:1030: recipe for target 'myconfig.h' failed
make: *** [myconfig.h] Error 1
The OS regex [1] needs to be change so that it either accepts Linux kernel versions starting with 4, or better, doesn't take the version into account at all (unless needed in the future).
Without the version:
