I think you're really on to something, as I'm seeing similar things with
a 32-bit perl on 64-bit linux box.

PS: the 'other' setup:
    osname=linux, osvers=2.6.5-7.97-smp, archname=x86_64-linux
    uname='linux sunfire 2.6.5-7.97-smp #1 smp fri jul 2 14:21:59 utc
2004 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 gnulinux '
    config_args='-Dprefix=/WORK/philippe/Tools/Perl
-Dhtml1dir=/WORK/philippe//Tools/Perl/html
-Dcf_email=Philippe.Schaffnit@ACCESS.RWTH-Aachen.de -Dcc=gcc -m32 -d -e'
