Yeah... this is an mmap()/malloc() "problem"...

It seems that from some version in 7.5 on (and 7.6) SAPDB uses a more
efficient way to switch contexts via makecontext(), in earlier version this
was done using assembler. I have no full understanding what's happening
there exactly but using those contexts with mmap() doesn'T seem to work (or
the coding is not Solaris-ready).

Yeah - I managed it but it won't help you (you're on SPARC).

This is the thing you should try first. If the buildtools are not
64bit-ready they won't even compile the correct version of a database.

Try to clean your TOOLSRC and start from scratch with:

# CC=cc CXX=CC CFLAGS="-xarch=v9" CXXFLAG="-xarch=v9" ./configure ....

So the compiler will hopefully not ommit the buildflags.

I think the 32bit Solaris builds are outdated and won'T work any more, at
least with Version >= 7.5.
