I'd compile my own. Unless you have a fairly similar setup from the
one that the compilers used, there is a good chance that things will
break. However, I don't think that that is necessarily your problem.

These are fairly important include files that should be in
/usr/include on Solaris.

are you sure that your solaris has those header files installed? If
you can't find the file /usr/include/fcntl.h you need to speak to your
sysadmin, and get them to install the stuff. If it is there, your gcc
is probably misconfigured, or you have an incompatibility between the
environment of the compiler that was used to create Perl and yours.
