 So, this is likely to be of many causes:
 - Perl bug
 - Compiler
 - OS (unlikely)
 
 I asked one of the NetBSD/sparc64 people if he has problems with this
 package, and he doesn't. He is using GCC 6.4, and you're with an older
 version. That means it's less likely to be perl.
 
 Can you update to a newer GCC and see if it's still an issue?
 
 From a pkgsrc perspective, this is a really low cost workaround,
 optimization is still on. We can just leave it alone if you can't be
 bothered.
