crash in emacs 21.1.1 on SPARC Solaris 2.7

[Alan Lehotsky]

I just downloaded the sunfreeware.com build of emacs (and the 6 or so
packages that are preconditions for using it...)

But after an uneventful install, running emacs causes a
Fatal error (4). Illegal instruction (core dumped)

I presume that I've got the wrong version of some library, but it's not
obvious to me what is out-of-date.  Since my emacs is dead-in-the-water
now, I'd appreciate any suggestions on getting around this problem.

gdb says the libraries loaded are:
