*** Don't use -O2 with gcc 2.8.1 and egcs 1.0 under SPARC architectures
without also using `-fno-schedule-insns'.
gcc will generate incorrect code otherwise, typically resulting in
crashes in the function skip-syntax-backward.

we thought we had a workaround for this in 21.1. but obviously that
does
not always work.
I think version of egcs starting with 1.1 are OK. So the best
solution is to upgrade to gcc2.95 (is that officially out yet?)
and to rebuild.
egcs-1.1.2 (2.91.66) has this bug fixed.
