Seems that the problem was caused by ECL's threaded interpreter
optimization, which uses a computed goto. This computed goto is just working
fine in all other versions of GCC in all other platforms. The obvious
solution was to deactivate that optimization (a pity, because it is a
powerful one) for Sun's platform. I have just finished a 64-bit build of ECL
on Solaris using GCC without problems. Sorry for the delay.
