I improved my template to clarify that bugs are not necessarly
gcc-4.3-specific. But even if it's not gcc-4.3-related, it's still an
FTBFS, and it's still RC.

The part that is at fault is in Makefile:
install ::
        @for dir in \
           $(INSTALLPRIVLIB) \
           $(INSTALLARCHLIB) \
           $(INSTALLBIN) \
           $(INSTALLSCRIPT) \
           $(INSTALLMAN1DIR) \
           $(INSTALLMAN3DIR) ; \
        do \
           $(MKPATH) "$$dir"; \
           if test -d "$$dir" && test -w "$$dir" ; then : ; else \
              echo ; \
              echo "ERROR: installation directory \"$$dir\"" ; \
              echo "       is not writable, not installing gimp-perl" ; \
              echo ; \
              exit ; \
           fi ; \
        done ; \
        $(MAKE) really-install install-plugins

The problem is that you are creating and checking INSTALLPRIVLIB, not
DESTINSTALLPRIVLIB. So you are directly trying to create /usr/share/perl/5.8, 
not $(insert build dir here)/...../usr/share/perl/5.8.
This obviously breaks if the build is not done as root.

I'm surprised that this worked on the buildd, but it was a long time ago.
