A common build error with this option enabled is seen when libraries appear on the command line before objects that reference them. More information and recipes how to fix such build errors can be found at NattyNarwhal/ToolchainTransition and the corresponding Debian page. So perhaps changing the order here might be what is needed: RG Docker root@rg:~/.cpanm/work/1465739293.982/CSS-Sass-3.3.4 $ cc -shared -L/usr/local/lib -fstack-protector -o blib/arch/auto/CSS/Sass/Sass.so libsass/src/ast.o libsass/src/base64vlq.o libsass/src/bind.o libsass/src/cencode.o libsass/src/check_nesting.o libsass/src/color_maps.o libsass/src/constants.o libsass/src/context.o libsass/src/cssize.o libsass/src/emitter.o libsass/src/environment.o libsass/src/error_handling.o libsass/src/eval.o libsass/src/expand.o libsass/src/extend.o libsass/src/file.o libsass/src/functions.o libsass/src/inspect.o libsass/src/json.o libsass/src/lexer.o libsass/src/listize.o libsass/src/memory_manager.o libsass/src/node.o libsass/src/output.o libsass/src/parser.o libsass/src/plugins.o libsass/src/position.o libsass/src/prelexer.o libsass/src/remove_placeholders.o libsass/src/sass.o libsass/src/sass2scss.o libsass/src/sass_context.o libsass/src/sass_functions.o libsass/src/sass_util.o libsass/src/sass_values.o libsass/src/source_map.o libsass/src/to_c.o libsass/src/to_value.o libsass/src/units.o libsass/src/utf8_string.o libsass/src/util.o libsass/src/values.o Sass.o -lstdc++ RG Docker root@rg:~/.cpanm/work/1465739293.982/CSS-Sass-3.3.4 $ ldd /root/.cpanm/work/1465739293.982/CSS-Sass-3.3.4/blib/arch/auto/CSS/Sass/Sass.so linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffb8772000) libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f7abcd72000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f7abcb5c000) libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f7abc796000) libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f7abc490000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000564958d01000) I am however not sure how to accomplish that, and perhaps a newer version of Extutils::Something is needed. Could you help me out? Thanks.

Please try again with 3.3.6. I think this is a duplicate of https://github.com/sass/perl-libsass/issues/25 and should be fixed by now. Thanks for your patience and sorry for the inconvenience.
