perl compile problems on solaris

[zrnaqvi]

I am trying to install perl 5.6.1 (to keep compatibility with the
production environment) on a Solaris 2.8 box and ran into the following
error. Google searches do not reveal anything to resolve this.

Any help is appreciated.

root@hostname > sh Configure -Dcc='gcc -B/usr/ccs/bin/'

Beginning of configuration questions for perl5.

Checking echo to see how to suppress newlines...
....using \c
The star should be here-->*

First let's make sure your kit is complete. Checking...
Looks good...

Would you like to see the instructions? [n]

Locating common programs...
awk is in /usr/bin/awk.
cat is in /usr/bin/cat.
comm is in /usr/bin/comm.
cp is in /usr/bin/cp.
echo is in /usr/bin/echo.
expr is in /usr/bin/expr.
grep is in /usr/bin/grep.
ls is in /usr/bin/ls.
make is in /usr/ccs/bin/make.
mkdir is in /usr/bin/mkdir.
rm is in /usr/bin/rm.
sed is in /usr/bin/sed.
sort is in /usr/bin/sort.
touch is in /usr/bin/touch.
tr is in /usr/bin/tr.
uniq is in /usr/bin/uniq.

Don't worry if any of the following aren't found...
I don't see Mcc out there, offhand.
ar is in /usr/ccs/bin/ar.
I don't see bison out there, either.
I don't see byacc out there, either.
cpp is in /usr/local/bin/cpp.
csh is in /usr/bin/csh.
date is in /usr/bin/date.
egrep is in /usr/bin/egrep.
gzip is in /usr/bin/gzip.
less is in /usr/bin/less.
ln is in /usr/bin/ln.
more is in /usr/bin/more.
nm is in /usr/ccs/bin/nm.
nroff is in /usr/bin/nroff.
pg is in /usr/bin/pg.
test is in /usr/bin/test.
uname is in /usr/bin/uname.
zip is in /usr/bin/zip.

Using the test built into your sh.

Checking compatibility between /usr/bin/echo and builtin echo (if
any)...
They are compatible. In fact, they may be identical.

Symbolic links are supported.

Checking how to test for symbolic links...
You can test for symbolic links with 'test -h'.

Good, your tr supports [:lower:] and [:upper:] to convert case.
Using [:upper:] and [:lower:] to convert case.
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1': No such file or directory
Uh-oh, the C compiler 'gcc -B/usr/ccs/bin/' doesn't seem to be working.
You need to find a working C compiler.
Either (purchase and) install the C compiler supplied by your OS
vendor,
or for a free C compiler try http://gcc.gnu.org/
I cannot continue any further, aborting.

The error message is very explicit about what the problem is. Did you
attempt to install a working C compiler, as suggested by the error
message?

I saw that error, but I just downloaded gcc 3.3.2 from sunfreeware.com
and am using that as the compiler.

Suspecting with the -B/usr/ccs/bin flag I ran the configure without any
options, i.e. sh Configure. It completed without any errors, next I ran
make had errors, so I ran a make clean first followed by a make. Here's
the output. Acouple of things stand out: why a makefile and a Makefile
both are created by Configure, and the fatal error at the bottom.
