That's pretty odd.  What seems to be failing here:

> This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for IA64.ARCHREV_0-LP64
> getsockopt (3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ERROR, 0x9fffffffffffdb84, 0x9fffffffffffdb98)               ERR#22 EINVAL

is this bit of code in libpq:

                int            optval;
                ACCEPT_TYPE_ARG3 optlen = sizeof(optval);
                ...
                if (getsockopt(conn->sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ERROR,
                               (char *) &optval, &optlen) == -1)
                {
                    appendPQExpBuffer(&conn->errorMessage,
                    libpq_gettext("could not get socket error status: %s\n"),
                            SOCK_STRERROR(SOCK_ERRNO, sebuf, sizeof(sebuf)));
                    goto error_return;
                }

It's not clear at all how that would fail in the Perl environment if it
works standalone.  I could believe getting EINVAL if we had determined
the wrong datatype for ACCEPT_TYPE_ARG3, but that ought to fail
standalone too, I should think.  Anyway it would be worth checking what
configure identified as ACCEPT_TYPE_ARG3 and comparing that to the docs
for getsockopt.

Meanwhile, this one:

> This is perl 5, version 12, subversion 2 (v5.12.2) built for IA64.ARCHREV_0-LP64-ld

>      PC: 00000001000000a0.0

seems like it's just a flat-out library incompatibility --- it looks to
me like it's probably failing immediately upon passing control to libpq.
I'm wondering about issues like word width and endianness.  IA64 can do
either endianness IIRC, so maybe your toolchain is confused about which
it should use?
