Ok.  I have just compiled guile-1.6.3 on

  SunOS wiggum 5.8 Generic_108528-15 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10

with GCC 2.95.3 and it works fine.

It looks like you might have used GCC 3.x, is that right?  (Your
binary uses libgcc_s.so which will only happen with GCC 3.x, right?)
We had problems with some new optimizations in GCC on IA32 and there
might be different issues on Sparc.

Could you try compiling without "-O2"?  Also, if convenient, could you
compile with GCC 2.95.x?

Of that fixes it, we will then have to find a better way to make Guile
work on Sparc, of course.  I have the hunch that you known something
about C, Andrew... ;-) so maybe you can tell us what to do.
