I've only had sigbus troubles on mips, but I could have had them in arm I think.
But if iirc, the linux arm has a sigbus catcher enabled by default that,
although slow, corrects bad aligned accesses. I imagine most picky architectures
have similar code, but not all of them have it enabled by default.

Does the sparc kernel you use have that option, Julian? It can help at least to
allow you running fossil.
