Ah! The explanation that this was related to a problem in Devel::Size would have been useful to see in the first paragraph of your original post. Without that detail, your post was an interesting technical question about C compilers on different platforms, seemingly unrelated to Perl. Hence, my consideration request to mark the node off-topic.

    Dog forbid that we here discuss a little about what makes our language and many of its extensions tick without clearing it with hit&run considerers. Thanks mate.
