Not really. Obviously mono segfaults, but not for the version info. So  
I'd suspect either the GC or the JIT.

* Have you tried compiling without GC (--with-gc=none) or with a more  
recent, external Boehm GC?

* Since mono itself is there, you could try compiling without mcs (-- 
disable-mcs-build) and copy the assemblies over from another machine.  
Then you can try running a Hello World and (more easily) look at it  
with gdb if necessary (or run the test suite).

* In December, Zoltan mentioned the 64-bit ABI were not supported.  
Maybe you need to use CC="gcc -m32" or similar flags.

* I remember someone contributing sparc JIT fixes sometime last year -  
search the list archives and check (i.e., revert) those latest  
patches. Most likely that contributor will have run Solaris, so you  
may want to inquire whether they have any issues now.
