My question has to do with building Perl on Irix. Today, I tried to build Perl 5.8.0 on my IRIX64 6.4 and 6.5 boxes, using gcc-2.95.2, Cygnus 99r1 and Cygnus 98r2. I get the same error during the make each time. Oddly, I now get exactly the same errors with Perl 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 now, although I have built 5.6.0 on the same boxes in the past. Can anyone point out my probably painfully obvious error?

The configure line I use is:
sh Configure -Dcc=gcc -Dprefix=/tools/perl-5.8.0 -Uinstallusrbinperl -de

The error message I get when running make is:

gcc -c   -D_BSD_TYPES -D_BSD_TIME -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE -mabi=64 -fno-stri
+ct-aliasing -DLANGUAGE_C -O3   -DVERSION=\"1.01\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.01
