That'll likely be due to assertion / segmentation failures.

You'd need to enable core dumps and show a backtrace.

I assume that if you run tests without JIT support (e.g. by export
PGOPTIONS='-c jit=0'; gmake check), no such problem occurs?

I suspect that the LLVM version you used does something wrong on sparc. Which
version of LLVM is it?
