So, ready for some fun?

I applied ca0ededdc63e7af50a8b1548975cd, which Zoltan suggested on
#monodev would help matters on SPARC.

It stopped the SEGV.

However, the build now fails in an IDENTICAL manner to PowerPC:

make[9]: Entering directory
`/home/directhex/mono/mcs/class/Mono.CompilerServices.SymbolWriter'
MCS     [net_2_0] Mono.CompilerServices.SymbolWriter.dll
Couldn't sign the
assembly ../../class/lib/net_2_0/tmp/Mono.CompilerServices.SymbolWriter.dll with this key pair.
make[9]: ***
[../../class/lib/net_2_0/tmp/Mono.CompilerServices.SymbolWriter.dll]
Error 1

So I get the feeling there's a common issue here
