This is a bug report for perl from Niko Tyni <ntyni@debian.org>,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.18.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[ Sorry about the timing, it took a week for our sparc build server to get
  round to building 5.18.0-RC1, and we got the result just hours after
  the 5.18.0 release. ]


5.18.0 build fails on sparc with -Dusethreads -Duse64bitint.
miniperl gets a SIGBUS with just about any non-trivial program.

  ./miniperl -w -Ilib -MExporter -e '<?>' || /usr/bin/make minitest
  ./miniperl -Ilib make_patchnum.pl
  make[1]: *** [lib/Config_git.pl] Bus error

An example backtrace:
  Starting program: /home/ntyni/perl/miniperl -e s/a/b/
  [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
  Using host libthread_db library "/lib/sparc-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".
  
  Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error.

Perlbugging this with a non-threaded build. All the tests pass with that.
The actual Configure arguments used for testing were

 ./Configure -Doptimize="-g -O0" -des -Dusethreads -Duse64bitint

and both -Dusethreads -Duse64bitint are needed to trigger it.

Seen with gcc 4.4, 4.6 and 4.8, at both -O0 and -O2.
Also tried -DDEBUGGING with no visible difference.

Bisecting says the first bad commit is
