Well the obvious reason it is failing is that the gcc you have doesn't
understand -qstrict, -qoptimize=2, -qmaxmem=8192 and -ma. Did you compile with
a different gcc to the one you are using now?
You can obviously remove those from the make file but I'd look at your perl -V
output to see how perl itself was compiled first.
