This usually indicates you are using a gcc built for a different OS 
release than the one you are running.

Prior to gcc-2.8.* gcc took copies of nearly all the system include 
files - in your case for solaris-2.5.1.

You are now running solaris 2.7 and the "saved" files conflict 
with the new system include files. 

You need to re-run gcc's fixincludes, or upgrade your gcc, or find 
a solaris-2.5.1 machine to do the perl build.

(I happen to "know" that gcc-2.8.1 built for Solaris-2.5.1 _will_ 
build perl on Solaris2.7 - 'cos that is what I am using - but I would
still recomend using a gcc built for the actual OS.)
