I normally wouldn't reply to myself but I didn't have the original message. I
just built 7.4 on a Slackware 9.1 release with the following configure command:
./configure --enable-thread-safety --with-perl --with-openssl --with-tcl
I did not get any errors. The perl version was 5.8.0 and GCC version was 3.2.3
On the box that did get errors, it was perl 5.6.1 and gcc 2.95.3 (slackware 8.0
me thinks)
I hope this additional information helps.
