I don't know why the difference between x86 and sparc, but I can
explain what is the error about.

You're not supposed to link against Berkeley DB in /opt/csw/lib, it's
a legacy location.  Even though there is a symlink...

/opt/csw/lib/libdb-4.7.so -> ../bdb47/lib/libdb-4.7.so

...you're not supposed to link against it.  You need to give a
specific berkeley DB version in the runpath.  The symlink belongs to
the deprecated CSWbdb.  The actual library belongs to CSWbdb47.

In short, you need to prepend the RPATH list with /opt/csw/bdb47/lib.
