more kaffe-0.8.x garbage collection problems (on Solaris)

[Daniel.Veillard at imag.fr]

  I'm having a hard time porting my existing code from Linux where Amaya and
Kaffe are integrated to solaris. Setup is an Ultra :
cpu0: SUNW,UltraSPARC (upaid 0 impl 0x10 ver 0x22 clock 143 MHz)
SunOS Release 5.5 Version Generic_103093-06 [UNIX(R) System V Release 4.0]

With 0.8.0 depending on the compile-time options used, I have the
context-switching broken (gcc -g) or problems with the garbage
collector

So I moved to 0.8.2 on this platform. compiled with gcc -O -g after
removing problems related to extra argument of ranlibs (I'm compiling static).
I hit the bug reported for m68k :
