Comment(by pollux):

 Some interesting comments for the exact same problem here:
 [http://cpan.org/modules/by-module/Compress/Compress-Raw-
 Bzip2-2.004.readme]

 Quoting the text:

 === Solaris build fails with "gcc: unrecognized option `-KPIC'" ===

 You are running Solaris and you get an error like this when you try to
 build this Perl module

 {{{
 gcc: unrecognized option `-KPIC'
 }}}

 This symptom usually means that you are using a Perl binary that has been
 built with the Sun C compiler, but you are using gcc to build this module.

 When Perl builds modules that need a C compiler, it will attempt to use
 the same C compiler and command line options that was used to build perl
 itself. In this case "-KPIC" is a valid option for the Sun C compiler,
 but not for gcc. The equivalent option for gcc is "-fPIC".

 The solution is either:

     1. Build both Perl and this module with the same C compiler, either
        by using the Sun C compiler for both or gcc for both.

     2. Try generating the Makefile for this module like this perl

 {{{
 perl Makefile.PL CC=gcc CCCDLFLAGS=-fPIC OPTIMIZE=" " LD=gcc
 make test
 }}}

        This second option seems to work when mixing a Perl binary built
        with the Sun C compiler and this module built with gcc. Your
        mileage may vary.
