glib-genmarshal segmentation fault on Solaris 7

[Stephen Rasku <stephen tgivan com>]

When I try and build glib 2.0.1 on a Sparc Solaris 7 machine, I get:

gmake[2]: Entering directory `/space/gnu/gtk/glib-2.0.1/gobject'

/bin/ksh: 716 Segmentation Fault(coredump)

Closer examination reveals that I have a core in the gobject 
directory:

[stephen lima gtk/glib-2.0.1] 597 $ file gobject/core
gobject/core:   ELF 32-bit MSB core file SPARC Version 1, from 
'glib-genmarshal'

It doesn't seem to like some of the memory functions provided with 
glib:

[stephen lima glib-2.0.1/gobject] 599 $ gdb glib-genmarshal core

gstrfuncs.c:89 is:

      new_str = g_new (char, strlen (str) + 1);

I am using gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)

Anyone know what is going on?
