	I would truss -f perlgcc Makefile.PL and see what it's up to. Sounds
pretty strange otherwise. you may want the -o outfile flag to truss if it
spews too crap much before getting to the interesting bits.
	Here's a little thought. Maybe it's doing something like gcc -E -
but not getting input for some reason. That would explain the hanging and
messages w/ lack of error. Of course it doesn't explain why it would be doing
that in the first place.
