Problems building DBD::mysql

Question

Has anyone had any luck with this. I have a freshly built perl 5.8.8, freshly built DBI, all work great, built with no errors. (All done with SUNWspro 11)
I believe the problem is simply that when DBD::mysql is compiling it is trying to build it in either 32 bit or 64 bit but whatever it is doing, it is doing the opposite of what Perl and DBI were built as. Same thing happens when I use CPAN.
Any hints on how to get this to build as 32bit?

Well no luck. Does this clear anything up?
