Some search seems to hint it's a GNU assembler / Solaris ld issue. There 
might be some optimization selected by ./configure that's not good.

I see that option in configure that's probably worth enabling:

--enable-portable-binary

Check the config.log carefully.

Solaris 9 x86 is 32 bit only. My generic advice about it is: drop it.
