Trying to build a patched version of perl, using the perl-35 tree. It's dying at the c compiler stage with the following errors:

Operating system name? [darwin] 
Operating system version? [8.3.0] 
Build Perl for SOCKS? [n] 
Use the PerlIO abstraction layer? [y] 
Build a threading Perl? [y] 
Use the newer interpreter-based ithreads? [y] 
Use which C compiler? [cc] 
cc: Invalid arch name : PPC
Uh-oh, the C compiler 'cc' doesn't seem to be working.

You need to find a working C compiler.
Either (purchase and) install the C compiler supplied by your OS vendor,
or for a free C compiler try http://gcc.gnu.org/
I cannot continue any further, aborting.
make[1]: *** [/private/var/tmp/perl/perl-35.obj/perl/configure-stamp] Error 1
make: *** [installperl] Error 2

Is there something special that one needs to set or do to get a working c compiler?
