Trying to build glib 1.2.6 under Solaris

["Nash, D. MAJ EECS" <dd9875 exmail usma army mil>]

Dear friends,

I'm having trouble building glib 1.2.6 under Solaris.  I can configure,
make, and make install, all apparently without complaint.  But when I run
"testglib", it crashes about three-quarters of the way through the tests.
The program statements that are executed from testglib.c just before the
crash are:

string = NULL;
g_print (string);

When g_print is called, I'm getting a segmentation fault.  If I comment this
line out, the remainder of the tests run without error, but I get some
crashy behaviors with other applications that link to it.

My system (from uname -a):
SunOS sol 5.7 Generic_106541-05 sun4u sparc SUNW, Ultra-Enterprise

gcc version 2.8.1

Thanks very much for any help,
