1. I can confirm this problem on/for my qube2 under -current and
netbsd-7 (gcc 4.8 related? Under netbsd-6 / gcc 4.5 I can't remember
such problem).

2. I could work around this problem by adding (disabling
'usemallocwrap' for perl compilation)

  CONFIGURE_ARGS+=       -Uusemallocwrap

to pkgsrc/lang/perl5/options.mk.
The resulting perl package / binary seems to run somehow (didn't
(stress) tested it).

Couldn't find this as a 'known bug' searching the inet though ...
