Likely alignment on sparc64. Pointers aligned on 64bit boundary on  
sparc64?

One hack-a-round is:
     memset(p, 0, sizeof(*p));
instead of
     *p = NULL;
but you may die in caller instead.

FWIW, tag=1184 is RPMTAG_PACKAGECOLOR added on
multilib systems. That's likely not PLD/sparc64.

Lemme look a bit more.
