These are the same errors as this bug report:

I'm not sure exactly what's happening, but it seems the libperl.a
library on the host contains non-PIC code, and the Solaris linker
refuses to make a shared library for this reason.

If you don't need the perl module, I'd suggest to build FreeRADIUS
using ./configure --without-rlm_perl
