ncl on solaris 10 sparc core dumps

I was not sure whether this post would go to ncl-talk or ncl-install but
since the problem was more related to how NCL was compiled, I am posting
this to ncl-install.

ncl_ncargs-5.1.1 builds successfully on Solaris 10 sparc (64-bit) but
when I try to run the binary it dumps core. I saw stack of core, found
that 3-4 functions are being called over and over until program
seg-faults. I am using sun studio 12.0 compiler. I removed optimization
in compilation to see if that fixes the issue but that didn't help. The
same version of NCL builds fine on solaris 10 x86 64-bit (almost with
same C and F flags as that of sparc build). I searched for function
_NhlCreate and NhlVACreate and found that they are defined within
ni/src/lib/hlu/Create.c, so, I believe the hlu compilation is not going
well?

Thanks in advance.
