I don't have a fix for that, but this appears to work for me:

Download the latest spin of root_fs with uClibc 0.9.19. 
(Eric, do you mind adding a revision number of some sorts to these images?)

Then do something like this:

mount -o loop root_fs-i386 /mnt/soekrisdev/
mount --bind /dev /mnt/soekrisdev/dev
mount --bind /proc /mnt/soekrisdev/proc
mount --bind /usr/src/scratch /mnt/soekrisdev/usr/src/scratch/
mount --bind /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-pre5-ac1-soekris/ /mnt/soekrisdev/usr/src/linux

1. chroot /mnt/soekrisdev
2. cd /usr/src/scratch
3. build perl 
        unpack source
        patch source (attached, I haven't tried w/o patch on latest uClibc.
			nor do I know if the patch breaks anything.... :-)
        rm -f config.sh Policy.sh
./Configure -Doptimize='-Os -march=i486' -Dcc=gcc -Dprefix=/opt/perl -Darchlib='/opt/perl/lib/5.8.0/i386-linux' -Darchname='i386-linux' -Dmyarchname='i386-linux'  -de

Perhaps add -Uusemymalloc as well. I haven't tried.

        make
        make test
        make install

Then copy whatever you need from /opt/perl to your target fs.
Enjoy.
