I'm not sure how you define 'crash', but to me, a 'crash' is different from
a compilation failure.
The first sign I see of trouble is:
gcc -shared -L/usr/local/lib64 DBI.o -o blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.so \
\
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libc.so when searching for -lc
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
You probably need to resolve that before going any further.

Same failure.

DBI::Shell is not DBI.
And DBI 1.54 is quite a bit older than the current releases.
Thanks for including the information about versions, etc. It helps.
I note that Perl was built with a pre-release of the C compiler:
Compiler:
cc='gcc', ccflags ='-fno-strict-aliasing -pipe
-Wdeclaration-after-statement -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/include/gdbm',
optimize='-O2 -pipe -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions',
cppflags='-fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -Wdeclaration-after-statement
-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/gdbm'
ccversion='', gccversion='4.1.1 20060724 (prerelease)
(4.1.1-3mdk)', gccosandvers=''
I doubt that has anything to do with the issue. though. You need to ensure
that you can find an appropriate C library.
Have you managed to build any other C modules in Perl? Somehow, I doubt it.
