I'm trying to install the Storable module for an old (5.004.04) version of Perl.

I've downloaded Storable-1.014 from CPAN, but I'm running into problems getting it to compile:

(spacing added for readability) 
bash-2.03$ make
cc -c  -I/apps/sun5/perl5.004.04/ext/include -O     -DVERSION=\"1.014\
+"  -DXS_VERSION=\"1.014\" -Kpic -I/apps/sun5/perl5.004.04/lib/sun4-so
+laris/5.00404/CORE  Storable.c

"/apps/sun5/perl5.004.04/lib/sun4-solaris/5.00404/CORE/perlio.h", line
+ 137: syntax error before or at: __attribute__

"/apps/sun5/perl5.004.04/lib/sun4-solaris/5.00404/CORE/perlio.h", line
+ 137: warning: syntax error:  empty declaration

"/apps/sun5/perl5.004.04/lib/sun4-solaris/5.00404/CORE/proto.h", line 
+47: syntax error before or at: __attribute__

"/apps/sun5/perl5.004.04/lib/sun4-solaris/5.00404/CORE/proto.h", line 
+47: identifier redefined: __attribute__
        current : function() returning int
        previous: function() returning int : "/apps/sun5/perl5.004.04/
+lib/sun4-solaris/5.00404/CORE/perlio.h", line 137

[download]

These problems seem to be stemming from core C headers, and I'm at a loss as to how to sort them out.

Has anyone seen anything like this before? Can anyone suggest a way to fix these errors, save for me hacking around with the headers?

Thanks in advance ...
