After others who were not building perl complained
about the same problem, we determined that what we had
in common was a Linux 2.6 kernel, Fedora Core 3, which
serves our home directories via NFS from an XFS file
system.
Rebooting that file server fixed the problem.
It's never happened to us before, and we were all
stumped.

The order of directories in my PATH finds gcc first on
my Sun workstation.
Thank you for your assistance, and please close this
false perl bug report.
