Even with an updated userland I can't run either of those. Error is:

vmstat: undefined symbols: _pool_head

Should I need to rebuild userland after applying the patch?

My initial gut instinct was that it was swapping more. However 
observing the system using systat vmstat while building perl things seem 
  normal with occasional bursts of paging when the free memory gets low 
but no paging activity most of the time. So apart from the vmstat thing 
everything looks good.
