I'd suggest that the problem is that you aren't finding the required shared library except for: 

**Symbol 'main' is not defined.

But then, I suppose even 'main' could be placed into the shared library.

It looks like "nonstop" is an HP OS and my experience with HP was that they had rather non-standard support for shared libraries and that getting it to actually work could be quite difficult. I remember being inordinately proud at finally getting Perl to successfully build using shared libraries (and even supporting dynaloader) on HP/UX a decade or so ago.

So you might try starting over and telling Configure that you want to build a statically-linked perl this time.

If this were my problem, I would likely tell 'make' to report all of the commands that it ran so I could get the exact and complete 'ld' command line that is leading to these errors. Then I could consult my local "man ld" and maybe use 'nm' and look for the file(s) that contain the missing symbols and look at the generated Makefile and try to determine why the 'ld' command was not being fed those files.

All that might at least give you more details to post or to provide to the p5p e-mail list to better prompt a useful response.
