[ID 20000726.002] perl 5.6.0 build failure

This is a bug report for perl from root@mugc.cc.monash.edu.au,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.26 running under perl 5.00404.

Perl 5.6.0 fails during `make` phase when building "malloc" as per messages below.
System details:
	Digital (Compaq) Alpha 2100 5/250 running Tru64 Unix v5.0A

Currently have perl 5.004 but that was built with v4.0D from memory
System/Perl Administrator: Marchelm.Bomers@its.monash.edu.au
	
I am guessing that this is a System OS specific problem, but without programming qualifications I have no way of identifying/fixing the error.
Tanx in advance for any assistance that you can give.
