make fails for gcc compiled Perl V5.8.8 on AIX 6.1

I got gcc to compile Perl V5.8.8 on AIX 6.1 due to stated cc_r issues while attempting to install CPAN. We do not have the IBM C compiler but using gcc and it "su开发者_JAVA百科ccessfully compiled", I hope as no errors, ran make per:

make

Stop.

Output from offending lines in /usr/include/unistd.h:

    extern int              setroles(rid_t [], int);
    extern int              getroles(pid_t, rid_t [], int);

again, any help is GREATLY appreciated......... LT

PS. while IBM states Perl V5.10.x is not packaged/supported on AIX 6.1, will it actually run correctly anyway?

You're very unlikely to get decent community support for anything but current versions of Perl, as of 2011 this means v5.14.

#perl-help's opinions:

<Khisanth> looks like some missing header files
<Khisanth> or missing #includes
<DrForr> Whatever defines rid_t is a likely candidate.
