Hello,
I'm sorry that I can not report any news on this one, except I've downloaded Sun C 5.14 (Oracle Developer Studio 12.5) but I've not installed the compiler on my site yet. I agree that it isn't right to block the release of Emacs 26.1 due to this problem.
Thanks.

For what it's worth I could not reproduce the problem on i386-pc-solaris2.11 with Sun C 5.12. Emacs did not crash at all.
My guess is that it's a bug in how unexec works in your environment. It's also possible that it's a bug in your C compiler, though I think this less likely. Unfortunately, it is hard to debug this sort of thing without access to the failing system.
Is it easy for you to try the latest C compiler from Oracle instead? The current stable version is Sun C 5.14 (Oracle Developer Studio 12.5), which you can get here:

Any news on this one?In any case, given the time since the last communication, and nosimilar reports from anyone else, it doesn't seem right to block therelease of Emacs 26.1 due to this problem.Thanks.
