If someone wants to use irssi irc client on solaris 10 - 11 x86 but gets errors connected with perl, do the following:
cd src/perl/common
edit Makefile
remove -KPIC flag
remove optimization flags -xO3 -xspace -xlidoff
Do this in src/perl/common,src/perl/ui,src/perl/textui,src/perl/irc
Only by doing this i've solved the problem with irssi


Or use the Sun Studio compiler.

I've actually had nasty crash bugs using -xO3 -xspace -xilfoff on perl 5.8.5 on amd64 (-xarch=amd64) -- using Sun's compiler, of course.  It would perfectly for our i386 builds, but seems to touch some bugs on amd64.  I've had to drop back to simple "-xO2" to get it to pass our test suite.

As a note to those who care.  We run into so many compiler "over optimization bugs" from various compilers that we don't regularly report them any more.  The worst offender, by far, is the Visual Studio .NET compiler. But, each has its own quirks.

Best regards.
