A-ha! works fine without optimization.

That is, all tests pass with:
  make distclean ; ./configure CFLAGS="-O0 -g" && make check

while this fails:
   make distclean ; ./configure CFLAGS="-O2 -g" && make check

In a reproducible manner (except one multiebyte-related failures, which I'll 
ignore for now).

This is a VM using:
 
$ uname -a
SunOS oi-151a8 5.11 oi_151a8 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris
$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/sfw/lib/gcc/i386-pc-solaris2.11/3.4.3/specs
Configured with: 
/home/jt/OI-151A-STABLE/151A-PRESTABLE8/newbuilds/sfw/usr/src/cmd/gcc/gcc-3.4.3/configure
 --prefix=/usr/sfw --with-as=/usr/sfw/bin/gas --with-gnu-as 
--with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --without-gnu-ld --enable-languages=c,c++,f77,objc 
--enable-shared
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-20050802)

So I guess this was due to a very old compiler.

After upgrading to gcc-4.4.4, all tests pass (except one multibyte test).

Sorry for the false alarm.

If need be, the VM is available for download here:
    http://www.nongnu.org/pretest/downloads/

It contains the old compiler, so to upgrade run this:
    sudo pkg install /developer/illumos-gcc
    export PATH=/opt/gcc/4.4.4/bin:$PATH
