You can't just edit the Makefile.

In the perl source directory, 
        mv config.sh config.sh.save
        mv Policy.sh Policy.sh.save
        ./Configure -ders -Dlibs="-lnsl -lgdbm -ldl -lm -lc -lposix -lcrypt"
        make
        make test
        make install (as root)

You should now be ready to build sybperl.
