It seems that -Duseshrplib and -Duse64bitall together don't work.
-Duseshrplib alone or in combination with -Duseithreads compiles
successfully.

In general I'd say, try compiling with default settings first, that is:

perl-5.8.7# ./Configure -des

This is known to work for your OS, so if it doesn't work for you,
there most likely is something wrong on your system.  If it does
work, you can try more complicated configurations.  

Secondly, it's always a good idea to keep up with the OS maintenance
levels and compiler patches.
