I just tested on Solaris 9 Sparc with Sun Studio 12.

During compilation I get the following warnings (probably harmless):

> cc: Warning: illegal option -fdiagnostics-show-option
> cc: Warning: illegal option -funit-at-a-time

After compilation I get the following linker errors during running the test 
suite:

>   CC       test-sh-quote.o

Manually adding -lintl to the linker flags resolves the issue.

Some gnulib-tests actually dump core:

> dumped) "$@" >$log_file 2>&1

On the latter the stack looks like this (this is a Solaris 9 branded zone on 
Solaris 10):

Inspected on Solaris 10 the stack looks like this:

Anything further I could test?
