Description:
------------
When building PHP 5.5.10 with the Sun Studio 12 compiler on Solaris 10 Update 11 SPARC, the compile succeeds but "make test" or "make install" fail due to the PHP binary crashing with a bus error.

CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS tested: "-xO0 -xarch=generic -m32" for testing and debugging, "-xO3 -xarch=sparcvis2 -m32" for production build; symptoms identical in both cases.

gmake: *** [test] Error 138


When running in gdb I see a SEGV, not a bus error.

PHP 5.5.9 does not suffer from this issue, with the same compiler, same configure options.

Expected result:
----------------
make test or make install should succeed.

Actual result:
--------------

Amplifying information: PCRE 8.34 on its own compiles and 'make test' is successful. (Using Sun Studio 12, -xO0 -xarch=generic -m32)
 [2014-03-19 18:16 UTC] eric dot w dot sprague dot ctr at navy dot mil 
Typo - Problem does not occur with 5.5.8.
 [2014-05-29 16:10 UTC] eric dot w dot sprague dot ctr at navy dot mil 
Fault is due to PCRE bug #1427, misaligned memory access on SPARC. See: https://lists.exim.org/lurker/message/20131231.005837.c62b68a4.en.html

Working on a workaround now.

 [2014-05-29 19:25 UTC] eric dot w dot sprague dot ctr at navy dot mil 
Problem can be worked around with Sun Studio by adding the -misalign CFLAG.

Looking for similar workaround for gcc.

checked with 5.5.12 on Tru64 4.0F and 5.1B:

line 3266:

if ((*set1++ & *set2++) != 0) return FALSE;

of the compare_opcodes function in pcre_compile.c also produces an "unaligned access". Tru64 can deal with it and doesn't die though.
 [2014-06-14 17:16 UTC] urs dot traber at gmail dot com 
workaround is to build against an external PCRE library from ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/

e.g. 8.33 is fine for Tru64 4.0F 5.1B. The included tests don't produce any alignment errors.

Is this still an issue with any of the actively supported PHP
versions[1]?
