perl modules won't compile

[Francis, Rick]

hi,

i'm using gcc v2.95.3 on solaris8.

many perl modules fail to compile with this error:

server9# /Bit-Vector-6.0 > make
gcc -c   -xO3 -xdepend    -DVERSION=\"6.0\" -DXS_VERSION=\"6.0\" -KPIC -I/usr/perl5/5.00503/sun4-solaris/CORE  BitVector.c

gcc: unrecognized option `-KPIC'
gcc: language depend not recognized
gcc: BitVector.c: linker input file unused since linking not done
gcc -c   -xO3 -xdepend    -DVERSION=\"6.0\" -DXS_VERSION=\"6.0\" -KPIC -I/usr/perl5/5.00503/sun4-solaris/CORE  Vector.c
gcc: unrecognized option `-KPIC'
gcc: language depend not recognized
gcc: Vector.c: linker input file unused since linking not done
LD_RUN_PATH="/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:" gcc -o blib/arch/auto/Bit/Vector/Vector.so  -G BitVector.o Vector.o    
gcc: BitVector.o: No such file or directory
gcc: Vector.o: No such file or directory
gcc: No input files
make: *** [blib/arch/auto/Bit/Vector/Vector.so] Error 1

the only common thread i've found is that in perl modules with this line in them, fail (taking the line out does not work):

LD_RUN_LIB =

any ideas?
