Buidling stable.tar.gz on Unix as non-root

Greetings!

I am trying to build the latest stable of perl on a sun4 system as a normal
user. Has anyone out there built perl as an user of a Unix system? By a
user I mean not having root access. I want to build perl in my own
directory. I am able to do configure to make and even start the make, but
the make always ends up in:
...
...
cos libperl.a(pp.o)
connect libperl.a(pp_sys.o)
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to miniperl
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `miniperl'
jicman~/perl-5.8.5 [3:51pm] ->

here is the full make start->failure output:

I've spent 2 days trying to find the problem and I can't...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.
