I will try this.

I'm afraid that isn't possible.

However I recompiled MUSCLE as a 64bit binary (added -m64 to the CC
options) and all my problems went away. Something in the 32bit
optimizations make MUSCLE fail on 32bit SPARC Solaris.


My other lead is to not specify -O at all, and start adding the -f
options that the various -O switches actually aggregate and see which
optimization is causing the problem. I'll report back on this later (I'm
a bit swamped at the moment).
