I just realized, that with Perl 5.14, it is no longer possible to load the GD 
module:

$ perl -e 'use GD;'

Not a CODE reference at 
/usr/pkgsrc/20110809/lib/perl5/5.14.0/i386-solaris-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm 
line 213.

 line

A short search revealed a rather fundamental problem in ExtUtils-MakeMaker:

https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=68613

As a quick fix per

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25067

I added

CFLAGS+=-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

to graphics/p5-GD/Makefile, and the error was gone.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
The problem seems to affect different architectures. I can confirm Solaris/i86 
with 32bit ABI is affected, Solaris/sparc with 32bit ABI and NetBSD-5.1/i386 
are not. The patch should be enclosed in an appropriate .if-clause, probably 
after the situation on other platforms has been evaluated.

And someone should probably take a close look on the development of 
ExtUtils-MakeMaker and pull up any fixes there quickly.
