Recent build of erlang package failed on sparc architecture

I cannot find a reason looking at the log file, and I don't have an
access to any sparc machine to debug the failure.
I have seen the same bus error with gcc 4.x (internal error that
returns a bus error on Sbus based sparc _and_ sparc64 linux boxes). I'm
trying to find this bug for a long time without any success. I never
have seen this bug on PCI based sparc64 boxes. Please note that I'm not
sure that this trouble comes from Sbus subsystem ;-) I suspect a bug in
sparc/sparc64 kernel.
FWIW, the box that produced that log linked above was running 2.6.23.8, and
it's a sparc64 CPU with PCI.
