problems compiling perl 586 on AIX 5.2. ML4 using xlc_r compiler

[henk1529]

Hi,

I have difficulties compiling perl-5.8.6 on an AIX 5.2 ML04 system
using the xlc_r version 6.0.0.0 compiler. But if I use the cc_r version
6.0.0.0 compiler it works fine. The error I'm getting using the xlc_r
compiler is;

=> # make
`sh cflags "optimize='-O'" miniperlmain.o` miniperlmain.c
CCCMD = /usr/vac/bin/xlc_r -DPERL_CORE -c -D_ALL_SOURCE
-D_ANSI_C_SOURCE -D_POSIX_SOURCE -qmaxmem=-1 -qnoansialias
-DUSE_NATIVE_DLOPEN -DNEED_PTHREAD_INIT -I/usr/local/include -q32
-D_LARGE_FILES -qlonglong -O

The reason why I want to use the xlc_r compiler is because I want to
compile the DBD-Oracle-1.16 Oracle DB driver. I'm running in problems
there too but it states that you should compile perl using the xlc_r
compiler.

Does anyone know why I'm getting the above error and how to fix it?

Thanks Henk.
