cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-fstack-protector"
This is a command line option which only GCC 4 understands. You only
have GCC 3 installed.
You need to install the gcc-4 package. You may also need to change the
default gcc to gcc-4 using the "alternatives" tool (man alternatives),
or force Perl to use GCC 4. This may work (untested)
CC=gcc-4 perl Build.pl
