Problem installing emacs on Solaris 8

Problem installing emacs on Solaris 8

Hello,
 
While building emacs based on the normal build procedure:
 
./configure
make
 
I encounter the same problem that is described by:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2003-08/msg00445.html
 
It fails when it attempts to use emacs while executing the make on
./src/Makefile with a "segmentation fault".
 
Just for fun I ran emacs from the ./src installation directory, it
appears to work fine but upon exit it has a "segmentation fault" as
described in the above problem description.
 
I am using gcc version 3.4.2 and have tried to install both emacs-21.3
and 21.4a.  Both versions exhibit this same problem.
 
After looking in the PROBLEMS file I tried passing the -znocombreloc
link editor switch, but this does not appear to exist, only a
-zcombreloc is considered valid.  There is also a mention of using the
standard Solaris linker, but I'm unfamiliar with what this takes.
 
Can anyone suggest where the problem lies?
 
Thank you in advance.
 
Rik McAuliffe
