perl5-porters would have been a better list to ask this question on. I've
cc'd it, and set a reply-to to it.

It's not linking against any libraries. I'd expect to see a line something
like this:
gcc -force_flat_namespace -o miniperl \
miniperlmain.o opmini.o libperl.a -ldl -lm -lc
with something like -ldl -lm -lc at the end

What is the value for perllibs in config.sh
If I run
$ grep perllibs= config.sh
I see
perllibs='-ldl -lm -lc'
but I'm assuming that you have perllibs=''
How did you run the Configure script?
