I had the same problem as this as well. My fix was found by using this
page:

http://mailman.packetpushers.com/pipermail/larrd/2002-August/001224.html

I simply set PROBLEMCC="" as it mentions.

With just this change, everything then compiled just fine. That was
using the perl 5.8.0 Sunfreeware distro. On a self-built 5.6.0 install,
I did not have this problem.

Cheers,
