--enable-perl doesn't like Solaris

Justin Clift (jclift(at)iprimus(dot)com(dot)au) reports a bug with a severity of 3
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
--enable-perl doesn't like Solaris

Long Description
When testing which 7.1RC1 options are working on Solaris 8 SPARC, I've come across this when using --enable-perl.

It appears that the ./configure script is defining -KPIC somewhere in the perl interface stuff, and this is causing the "make" to bomb out. I'm pretty sure from memory that -KPIC is not something that gcc on Solaris likes, and will need to be -fPIC -shared or something else.

Please note, on this system 'cc' is a soft link to gcc, for those times I forget to set CC (like this time).

Sample Code
./configure --p=/opt/postgresql71 --enable-syslog --with-openssl=/opt/openssl --with-python --with-perl
