Oh great and Holy Holders of the devine and sacred knowedge,

I am currently attempting to install a series of Perl modules which are nessecary for running the mon Services Monitoring Deamon onto a Sparc Ultra 5 running Solaris 8. During compilation (running make) I am getting the following error:

cc: unrecognized option `-KPIC'
cc: language depend not recognized
cc: HiRes.c: linker imput file unused since linking not done
Running Mkbootstrap for Time::HiRes ()
chmod 644 HiRes.bs
LD_RUN_PATH="" cc -o blib/arch/auto/Time/HiRes/HiRes.so -G HiRes.o
cc: HiRes.o: No Such File or directory
cc: No input files
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal Error: Command failed for target `blib/arch/auto/Time/HiRes/HiRes.so

everything appears normal until that point. I am using gcc version 2.95.2 (cc is a link pointing to gcc).
I'm running Perl verion 5.005_03

This happens when i run make on the Time:HiRes module and a similar error occurs while I run make for the Authen::PAM module (however the later is not nessecary for my purposes).
