yes, I regularly blow away /usr/pkg and rebuild everything on my
Solaris 9 box.

this seems like perl thinks you are using GNU ld, where -E
(--export-dynamic) means create a dynamically linked executable and
add all symbols to the dynamic symbol table.

I have not seen this problem at all building perl on Solaris. do you
have GNU binutils installed on the system anywhere? perhaps the perl
configure is picking it up by mistake.
