That's a very old version of gcc that was used to build that Perl (24 Oct 1999). What version of gcc are you using ? (Running 'gcc -v' will tell you.)

I'm not sure what's killing the process - the only thing that's not reported as a "warning" is the "invalid option: -fno-strict-aliasing", so maybe that's the culprit.

You could get rid of it with the following entry in the WriteMakefile() section of the DBI-1.53 Makefile.PL: 
CCFLAGS => '-D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -D_REENTRANT D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
+ -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64',

[download]
Then run 'make clean', 'perl Makefile.PL', 'make test', and 'make install'.
Perhaps then, the process will continue to completion for you.

Cheers,
Rob
