I don't see enough information to help here, and this is rather
an R-devel topic (see the posting guide for the difference).
Which compiler and which version?
What level of optimization and other compiler flags?
32- or 64-bit build?
The Sun Studio compiler works (see the R-admin manual and the package
tests on CRAN), but Matrix does segfault in its tests on 32-bit
Sparc.
32-bit gcc is less reliable, but it is currently working for me with
gcc 4.3.3 from OpenCSW.
As a first step, compare the flags you used with those documented in
the R-admin manual, and perhaps try minimal levels of optimization.
And please follow up to R-devel.

It's been a few days I cannot compile to get R-2.12.0 working at
sparc Solaris 10. Seems the R software installation is OK, but the
recommended package called Matrix stopped me, since I can finish the
installation with the configure option
-with-recommended-packages=no. I then run
? Install.packages("Matrix")
Then last few lines of output are the following,
