First, thanks for the help. It's appreciated. The problem was my bad. I
built the compiler with GNU binutils, which on Solaris is a no-no, but
built Perl with the Sun tools. Once I rebuilt the compiler using the Sun
tools, then rebuilt everything from scratch it worked fine.
I'm posting this to the list so it's get archived in case others miss this
detail as well.
Thanks again.
