a much simpler testcase producing the same result might be compiling berkely
db 5.0. there only configure and a simple java test is involved until the
core.

out of
~/mgar/pkg/bdb50/trunk/work/solaris9-sparc/build-isa-sparcv8/db-5.0.21/build_unix/config.log

...
configure:17407: javac  Test.java
configure:17410: $? = 0
...
configure:17420: java  Test
../dist/configure: line 1: 27179 Illegal Instruction     (core dumped) $JAVA
$JAVAFLAGS $TEST
