I searched high and low for a solution to compiling DBD on Solaris 10. In the end I decided to go with the instructions in the following link: http://hivearchive.com/category/perl/ After removing SUNW Perl (core) and CSWperl and installing the gcc compiled package from sunfreeware, DBI compiled without any issues.

After reading it, I created a simple wrapper script that will invoke "gcc" and remove the offending options: https://twiki.cscs.ch/twiki/bin/viewfile/LCGTier2/PhoenixBlog20081120x1505?filename=perlcc I installed it as "/usr/bin/cc" and now "cpan -i Time::HiRes" works fine.

I'm looking at the Config_heavy.pl, and I don't like editing that crap. If I have to, I will post my results here. OK, I’m in the same boat as Tmack.

Another flag that might need removal is -xarch=386, it still complains with that present on an x2200.
