  Yes
 
 Is sparc64 big-endian with sizeof(int)  sizeof(void *)?
 That would explain the problem with the options.
 http://bugzilla.elinks.cz/show_bug.cgi?id=764

#include stdio.h

int main(void) {
printf(int = %d\n, sizeof(int));
printf(void * = %d\n, sizeof(void *));

return 0;
}

blade% ./a.out 
int = 4
void * = 8

This may well be casuing the problem?

 The next problem is, if you change any preferences, they do not appear
 to be saved. This is likely to be related to the first problem.

Did you tell ELinks to save the changes?

Which compiler did you use?  Try disabling optimizations.
If that does not work around the problem right away,
the executable should at least become easier to debug.

 So basically, elinks is broken in many ways on sparc64. Are any of the
 elinks developers interested in helping me pinpoint and eliminate these
 defects?

Sure.
