Sun put out a patch to their linker (ld) that breaks the Configure script for
perl. It checks for a specific info string output from the ld command, and
decides from that if you are using Sun's ld, or the Gnu ld. Since that patch
changes the output of the ld command's info string, Configure thinks you are
using Gnu's ld, and hence sets up the Gnu ld options to pass to Sun's ld.
Obviously, this doesn't work. Sun has since fixed it, by another patch that puts
back the old info string in their ld.
The patch to ld that broke this is 109147-14. The 109147-16 patch fixes it
again.
Update these Solaris patches and your problem should go away. :)
