Are you using GCC as the C compiler?  The goal of that line is to
enable the underlying C compiler to find the cmpinclude.h file
required for compiling all lisp code if the :system-p flag is set.
Without this flag, the cmpinclude.h will be dumped into each c file.  

Can one not set environment variables in this way with your /bin/sh?
I thought that was POSIX?

I have seen bus errors on Debian/sparc a long time ago, and traced it
to the fact that even on 32bit sparc, memory needs to be 8 byte
aligned in many cases.  This is accomplished in GCL with the PRT_ALIGN
macro, which is set to 8 in h/solaris.h and h/sparc-linux.h.  Please
verify that you are indeed using the former configuration. (Should be
evident from the configure output, machine=...)

Beyond this, it would be helpful if you could recompile with
--enable-debug passed to configure, get the same bus error in gdb, and
send me a back trace ("bt").

Please also download the prebuilt solaris package at
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gcl/cvs and see if the same error appears on
your machine.  It doesn't on my solaris build machine:

If none of these options sheds any light, please let me know, and I
will send you my full configure and build output on solaris to compare
with your own.

Take care,
