Please see the documentation on C_INCLUDE_PATH, CPATH, etc, at:
gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.2.2/gcc/Environment-Variables.html#Environment%20Variables

(scroll a few pages down, or search for CPATH). Perhaps those will
    solve your problem. Most likely, you can just set the environment
    variable C_INCLUDE_PATH to contain the proper
    directories. Unfortunately, I've never used a zaurus, and so have
    no idea how to set evironment variables on it.

If not, most perl makefile have a means to control include paths and
    the like - double-check the installation and troubleshooting instructions.

Good luck.
