It is still possible to build Perl on OS X 10.3, however there's one error during the build.
I applied the following patches to 5.38.2 source and ran ./Configure -des && make on OS X 10.3.9
#21023
https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/pull/444/files
Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker#446
#21367
The build fails with `error: `bool' undeclared in ext/DynaLoader which is odd since bool is undefined in Dynaloader.xs and it's not an issue on newer versions of OS X (10.4 & up), also the code which undefines bool has been in place since 2000.

To sidestep the issue, I commented out undef bool in Dynaloader.xs which allowed me to complete the build.
I haven't completed a run of the test suite yet, but most of the UTF-8 tests failed, among others which I didn't note down. I plan to complete the run of the test suite to get a complete picture of what fails.
