This isn't enough information for us to reproduce the bug.  We debug
Solaris-x-PPC toolchains all the time.

We'd love to fix this.  But we need exact, detailed instructions for
how to make the bug happen.  If we can make the bug occur for us, we
can almost certainly fix it; otherwise, we almost certainly cannot.
