You could probably LD_PRELOAD a shared object with an init routine to
malloc a psuedo-random amount of memory on the heap before the file is
loaded & parsed, if you wanted to test with different memory addresses.
Since the sparc & x86 memory layouts are definitely different, diff'ing
those is a simpler way to test that, if you can build on both architectures.
If you only have one, you might try 32-bit vs. 64-bit builds of xsltproc.
