5.005_03 fails tests on Solaris 2.7 gcc version 2.8.1

Dave Hayes filed a perlbug about this on May 8th, I haven't
seen any response. Now I have two machines doing the same
thing. Oddly, I have another Solaris 7 box, same gcc, and
it passes make test.

centaur​: <t> 57# ./perl lib/ipc_sysv.t
#chkpt1
Constant subroutine redefined at ../lib/DynaLoader.pm line 65535.
[above line repeats 36 times]
#chkpt2
1..16
Undefined subroutine &IPC​::SysV​::IPC_PRIVATE called at lib/ipc_sysv.t line 58.

with the following patch applied to t/lib/ipc_sysv.t

  use IPC​::SysV qw(IPC_PRIVATE IPC_NOWAIT IPC_STAT IPC_RMID
  S_IRWXU S_IRWXG S_IRWXO);
  use strict;

The Constant subroutine %s redefined is coming from the case
on line 3603 of op.c, with %s == ''.

There are also failures in lib/dumper, perl harness reports​:

I'd be happy to poke harder at this if anyone can make suggestions of
what to usefully poke at. Was there a solution to this already?
