libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xb7565000)

The segfault also occurs without ‘env -i’. I was just trying to minimize the
number of
entries in the environment. In any case make seems to always add a few ones
by default (like MAKEFLAGS etc.).
The crashes in solaris and linux are so similar, and go away also so similarly,
that i would primarily think about size of types. Under cygwin and
MacOS all sizes (pointers, long int, size_t, SIZE_MAX, time_t) are 8, while
under (this) solaris and (this) linux all sizes are 4. Only size of int is 4 on
all.
