On Solaris 10 sparc, "make check" fails with the attached output.
Solaris 10 has Perl v5.8.4 (with 46 registered patches), which is still
maintained by Oracle (most recently updated in 2016).
I guess the GNU Make test procedure currently requires a later version
of Perl. If so, it'd be helpful for it to skip tests that require a
newer version of Perl than what's installed. Or if it's easy to port to
v5.8.4 that'd be good too.
