OK that looks fine.

I think it's something a little weirder. On most systems "TRUE" is a
#define in C, and the DBlib.xs code has the following:

        if (strEQ(name, "TRUE"))
#ifdef TRUE
            return TRUE;
#else
            goto not_there;
#endif

around line 3136 or so. It appears that although TRUE is a valid symbol,
it isn't a #define (because the "goto not_there" is what gets executed).

Try changing this block to

        if (strEQ(name, "TRUE"))
            return TRUE;

and then rebuild.
