You seem to have introduced an additional check not mentioned here (but
we talked about it earlier in another thread). Here's what I currently
get for my nightly build on Linux:

configure: error: Perl was compiled with cc but you are using gcc which
likely will not work for embedded perl support.

Now, please note that people will get this error for a default build
(plain "./configure --with-defaults") on e.g. SuSE Linux 10.1! Just the
fact that Perl's compiler ("perl -V:cc" says cc='cc') is/was *named*
differently (at Perl compile time) than configure's default choice
("gcc") shouldn't break our build per se. These are still the same
compilers (GNU cc)! We need a more sophisticated test that really checks
whether both compilers are of the same "type" (especially GNU vs. non-GNU).
