Only a guess but worth checking: I've seen binaries corrupted on Solaris/SPARC 
when programs linked by /usr/ccs/bin/ld are stripped with GNU strip. Try putting 
/usr/ccs/bin at the start of your path and recompiling.

This is a GNU Binutils issue.  Where their strip command is broken.  Please 
address it with them.
Comment 3 Darren Tucker 2002-08-16 10:09:20 AEST
The strip bug has been fixed in binutils-2.13.
