This passes "-framework Firebird" to the compiler, not the linker.

Try
$MakeParams{'LIBS'} = "-framework Firebird";
here instead.

Here you can see -framework Firebird being passed to the compiler, but
linking is not performed at this point due to the "-c" option.

Here you can see the linking being performed, but without the
"-framework Firebird" option. This means the dynamic link editor will
not try to resolve symbols against the firebird library, and you will
get a lot of undefined symbols, which is exactly what happened below:
