unix perl module install errors James Marquez 11-11-2004

Hello I am trying to install a few modules I downloaded from CPAN but
I keep getting errors from "make". I upgraded to perl 5.8.5 this
seemed to go fine. The Makefile.PL file seems to work but when I run
"make' I get these errors:
gcc -B/usr/ccs/bin/ -c -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe
-I/usr/local/include -O -DVERSION="2.10" -DXS_VERSION="2.10"
-fPIC "-I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/sun4-solaris/CORE" SHA1.c
cc1: Invalid option `-fno-strict-aliasing'
make: *** [SHA1.o] Error 1

I am running Solaris and GNU make 3.80 [I upgraded this too].
Has anyone seen this error, please let me know what I might be
missing. It also seems to me that maybe my gcc does not understand
"-fno-strict-aliasing"
I have tried several modules [Digest::SHA1, HTML::Parser] with all
very much the same error. Any clues would be helpful.
cheers

-James

I googled a bit for this error message, and the most frequent advice is
"your gcc is too old, if it doesn't understand -fno-strict-aliasing.
You should upgrade gcc."

No clues, just a diagnostic suggestion: The modules you report having
tried both load C-code via .xs files. Are you experiencing the same
problem with installations from CPAN of pure-Perl modules (e.g.,
ExtUtils::ModuleMaker, List::Compare, etc.)?
