Could you send me a log of your crashing build? I don't remember perl5 
using the -E switch during its build (just curious).

You're using Sun's ld, and this breaks a lot of packages. I originally 
used it with pkgsrc, then quickly switched to a GNU compile chain. 
There's a small performance hit (i'd say 5% on average), but then, 
sparcs are fast :)

My solution:

Install lang/gcc and devel/binutils (which provides ld), and use these 
to build lang/perl5 or lang/perl58 and security/openssl. GCC 2.95.3 is 
reliable on Solaris.
