I've just rebuilt Perl 5.8.8 with GCC 3.4.6 in 64-bit mode. It was more exasperating than I expected because some monkey added a hint in hints/solaris_2.sh to use getconf to add arguments to the linker - search for an if statement that contains: ccflags="$ccflags -Wa,`getconf XBS5_LP64_OFF64_CFLAGS 2>/dev/null`" Eliminate it - it comments that it isn't sure it is necessary, and it is actually counter productive. I also got 7 (count them!) copies of -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV because a config.over got extended each time I ran the configure.
