Just doing

  $ make clean
  $ make CFLAGS=-g

should be enough.  You can override the nonessential compiler flags by
setting CFLAGS on the make command line.

I will install GCC 3 on our Sparc box and see whether I can reproduce
the problem.  I will have to get up to speed again about what our
problems were exactly on IA-32 re GCC 3 and I'll try to find similar
fixes for Sparc.  That could take a while, tho.
