Until now I used this SUN compiler: "ProWorks PC3.0.1 21 Jan 1995", and was always successful in building new emacs versions until version 21.1 Using GCC or a newer SUN compiler: "Sun WokShop 6 update 2 C 5.3 2001/05/15", does create a working new emacs (21.2) version!! In trying to use GDB on the crashing version, I have not been able to derive any useful information; it does not work very well with the ProWorks-compiled code. (I'll try to get some more info using dbx.)

I recommend you use GDB so that the special commands for debugging Emacs can work. Also please read etc/DEBUG.
