Building perl-5.20.1 has build errors, first is with the macro __GNUC_PREREQ__

second is about mallocwrap:

The first error doesn't stop the compilation, the second does.

>How-To-Repeat:
cd .../pkgsrc/lang/perl5 && bmake install
>Fix:
Not sure about cdefs_elf.h, but changing line 67 from
     #if __GNUC_PREREQ__(4,0)
to
     #if 1
allows the compilation to continue.

For the wrap error, changing perl-5.20.1/hints/netbsd.sh not to use mallocwrap seems to work:
from
     '') usemallocwrap='define' ;;
to
     '') usemallocwrap=n ;;

 Building perl on NetBSD/powerpc ports has been a pain for a long time,
 not just on PPC601.  I've wrestled with the "panic: memory wrap" failure
 on G3 and G4 powermacs, even with 2GB real memory and plenty of swap.

 So, I've recently gotten my PowerMac G4 (AGP Graphics) online again and
 am updating packages.  Naturally, I run into the memory wrap panic again.

 Just for grins, I took a look at "lang/perl5/hacks.mk" and see a powerpc
 hack that's been in place for over 10 years.  It disables all optimization.

 I figured I'd try disabling the hack (comment out the BUILDLINK_TRANSFORM
 line) like this:

 I didn't suffer a single memory wrap panic the whole time.

 There was one hang-up, literally.  At one point, 'miniperl' was just
 spinning on the CPU.  I hit ctrl-C and it exited.  I restarted the
 build and it completed.

 My perl installation is now updated.

 Perhaps try this on your 601-based system?

 I'll give the hacks.mk a try.

 For this error:

 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /mnt/disk1/pkgsrc/lang/perl5/work/perl-5.20.1/dist/ExtUtils-Command/lib/ExtUtils/Command.pm line 3.
  Compilation failed in require.
  BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

 I found that the line

   use 5.00503;

 was causing problems, so commenting it out allowed the compilation to
 continue.  I think there were 3 other files that had the same problem,
 at least during my compilation.

 Thanks

 I tried compiling with just the hacks.mk change and appeared to get
 more memory-wrap errors.

 Also, it seems the "BEGIN failed" errors for

  use 5.00503;

 are inconsistent.  Just rerunning bmake again will sometimes cause
 problem to not happen for the same file.

 Apparently the perl/malloc-wrap issue occurs  on cobalt too:

 I tried recompiling this again with version in stable pkgsrc (5.22.0) and current and get these errors now:
