Auth SEGV on sparc64, alignment problem?

[Chris Ross]

  Sadly, that doesn’t help either.  Over the past day, I’ve built and installed a different branch of the OS (stable/11, instead of release/11.1), to see if a new compiler/libc might change things.  Sadly, it does not.

  In the same situation now, auth fails immediately with signal 11.  Running gdb on auth (from build dir, compiled -g -O2) shows something similar.
