Nothing, the recent upgrade of perl broke this with the following
change in pkgsrc/lang/perl58/Makefile (diff -r1.55 -r1.56):

    ${ECHO} 'lddlflags="${PERL5_HINTS_LDFLAGS} $$lddlflags"'; 

This somehow nukes previous settings of lddlflags, which includes
either -G (sunpro/ld) or -shared (gcc) necessary for creating a shared
library.

Comment that line out of the pre-configure target and it should build
fine.  Hopefully Johnny will be able to take a look at this soon and
commit a fix (I would but I don't have a lot of time this week and I
couldn't immediately find anything wrong with what this line does -
switching the args around didn't help).

Cheers,
