GD make test problem

I´m trying to install GD-2.19 and I´m having problem during "make
teste".

My softwares are:

- Solaris 8
- gcc_small-3.3.2 and libiconv-1.8 (from Sunfreeware)
- perl-5.8.5 (from source)
- xpm-3.4k (from Sunfreeware)
- freetype-2.1.7 (from Sunfreeware)
- libpng-1.2.7 (from Sunfreeware)
- zlib-1.2.1 (from Sunfreeware)
- jpeg-6b (from Sunfreeware)
- gd-2.0.32 (from source)

The GD2.19 compiles, but when I run "make test", I have the following
errors:

What I have noticed is that whe I run "perl Makefile.PL" I receive the
message:

======
Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored: '/usr/local/lib/libiconv.so'
======

It seems that the error message is related whith the message above.

Could anyone help me? I think that this problem is affecting many
Solaris users, like me.

Thanks in advance,

Here I write how I handle this and successfuly work around this
problem:
1) The situation is the same. I also after executing "perl Makefile.PL"
get following:
Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored: '/usr/local/lib/libiconv.so'
Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored: '-Wl,-rpath'
Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored: '-Wl,/usr/local/lib'

2) Then I decide to check what is in @LIBS:
I add in Makefile.PL after "@LIBS    = qw(-lgd -lpng -lz) unless
@LIBS;" this:
print "|$_|\n" foreach @LIBS;

3) Run again "perl Makefile.PL" and the output was:
|-ljpeg|
|-lfontconfig|
|-lfreetype|
|-lpng12|
|-lz|
|-lm|
|/usr/local/lib/libiconv.so|
|-Wl,-rpath|
|-Wl,/usr/local/lib|
|-lgd|

4) So, I decide to remove the items "/usr/local/lib/libiconv.so",
"-Wl,-rpath" and "-Wl,/usr/local/lib" from the list and
following the Lincoln's advice add -liconv to the list of libraries:
I add in Makefile.PL after "@LIBS    = qw(-lgd -lpng -lz) unless
@LIBS;" this:
@LIBS    = qw(-liconv -ljpeg -lfontconfig -lfreetype -lpng12 -lz -lm
-lgd);
(and I don't forget to remove this: print "|$_|\n" foreach @LIBS;)

Now, when running again "perl Makefile.PL", make, make test there is no
any problems and GD.pm is working as well.

of stuffing in the wrap, roll tightly -
corner nearest you first, fold 2 side corners in,
wrap till remaining corner is left.
Brush with egg, seal, and allow to sit on the seal for
a few minutes.
Fry the rolls:
325° if using egg roll wraps, 350° for spring roll wraps.
Deep fry in peanut oil till crispy golden brown, drain on paper towels.



Lemon Neonate

Turkey serves just as well, and in fact even looks a bit like a
well-dressed baby. By the time you turn the child?s breast into
cutlets, it will be indistinguishable. The taste of young human,
although similar to turkey (and chicken) often can be wildly
different depending upon what he or she has consumed during its
10 to 14 months of life...

4 well chosen cutlets (from the breasts of 2 healthy neonates)
2 large lemons (fresh lemons always, if possible)
Olive oil
Green onions
Salt
pepper
cornstarch
neonate stock (chicken, or turkey stock is fine)
garlic
parsley
fresh cracked black pepper

Season and sauté the cutlets in olive oil till g
