Seems to just have been a temporary connectivity issue.

After battling a bit with bison flex (system m4 seems incompatible with system
flex?), solved by using your binaries, I suceeded building and testing plperl
on 346990ae2e

~/src/postgres/configure FLEX=/home/nm/bin/flex BISON=/home/nm/sw/bison/bin/bison CXX='g++ -maix64' CC='gcc -maix64' PERL=perl64 --cache ../config-ac-gcc.cache --enable-cassert --enable-debug --with-perl

gmake -j8 -s world-bin && gmake -j8 -s checkprep && gmake -j8 -s temp-install
cd src/pl/plperl/
gmake check NO_TEMP_INSTALL=1
...

All 13 tests passed.

I suspect the problem is the -Wl,-bE:/.../perl.exp - that'll obviously
restrict the exports of plperl.so to the ones of perl, which obviously is
wrong. I would have assumed that Peter's recent plperl changes should have
gotten rid of the -Wl,-bE:?
