My 5.8.1 build also stops at the same place. I guess i am missing some kinda dependency for some libraries? I had given a list of the libraries that are not compiling fine. Any thoughts on something that i'd be missing or doing wrong?
The list of libraries that cause an issue in creating the Makefile with miniperl, (i say pass/fail next to each,
pass - i can create the make file and do a make from within that directory
fail - just hangs no matter from where i try to run the miniperl command)

Fails
B
SDBM_File
IO
List/Util
PerlIO/encoding
IPC/SysV

Passes
C (within B passes)
Storable
Devel/PPPort
