Gnome fails to run on Solaris 8 ultra sparc II

[gregory mcst ru (Gregory A. Shimansky)]

Hello here

I have quite a problem making gnome work on solaris 8. I got the latest
libs (gtk+ 1.2.9, imlib 1.9.9, gnome-libs 1.2.12, gtk-engines 0.11,
audiofile 0.2.1, esound 2.22). Everything compiles fine but most of gnome
apps don't work (not all of them crash, for example gnomecc (from
control-center 1.2.2) works fine). All of those that fail receive SIGSEGV
in the same place. Here's a typical stack trace for gnome-terminal (from
gnome-core 1.2.4):

(gdb) run
