Comment:

 The above message "if this code is reached, the program will abort" is
 caused by the macro JMP_ in File `include/stg/TailCalls.h` at line 107 for
 `sparc_HOST_ARCH`. The macro seems to be fine for gcc-4.2 but gcc-4.3
 complains as above. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this macro?

 I've tried "`#define JMP_(cont) return((StgFunPtr)(cont))`" as defined for
 `USE_MINIINTERPRETER`, but the resulting binaries core dump.

 {{{
 #define JMP_(cont)      ((F_) (cont))()
         /* Oh so happily, the above turns into a "call" instruction,
            which, on a SPARC, is nothing but a "jmpl" with the
            return address in %o7 [which we don't care about].
         */

 /* Don't need these for sparc mangling */
 #define FB_
 #define FE_
 }}}
