I wish I could tell you why, but I ran into the exact same problem 
between last night and this morning (on FC6 in fact).

I entered the ~/.cpan/build/Net-Z3950-0.51/yazwrap directory and 
manually ran a make there, which completed normally.  After that I moved 
back to the main module directory and the make and make test again 
finished fine.  ...don't ask me why, but hopefully it will work for you too.
