I used solstudio12.2 to build 32-bit R. How do you get around the Matrix segfault?

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.
