	*scratch head*  I must admit I have no clue.  We have the same version, 
and for mine the compilation went without a hitch.  I don't think the 
problem is due by your version of Perl -- the problem seems to sit 
squarely in the C compilation.  What you can always do is to report a 
bug to the Perl6 guys.  If nothing else, they'll be happy to know 
someone tried to compile their stuff on a Solaris box...
