I've got this with binutils 2.9.1 and 2.9.5.0.21 on sparc-sun-solaris7
and binutils 2.9.1 and RedHat's 2.9.1.0.23-7 on
sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu, but not with 2.9.5.0.21 on
sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu.  No particular arguments were passed to
configure.

Ian told me in private he did reproduce the bug on some Solaris2 box.
