Your problem is that you're not using the same C compiler that was used
to build Perl.

You need to use a compiler that is substantially the same as the one
used to build Perl, so that all compiler options are accepted.  Trying
to do otherwise leads to baldness as you tear your hair out over errors.
 Don't bother trying; it is really hard work.  Either get the right
compiler, or build your own Perl with the compiler you have (but don't
remove or damage the system-provided Perl unless you're a braver person
than I am).
