Sparc + PPP + 2.0.35 = Fatal Signal 10?

I'm trying to set up a Sparc to use ppp. Everything seems to work, up to the
point at which it might try to set a route. (Speculation)

What I see is the two daemons, on the ppp server and on the Sparc, negotiate
everything up to and including the Sparcs IP address, at which point it errors
out with a "Fatal signal 10".

Any idea what might be wrong?

I am using a ppp options file that I know to work under 2.0.35 on a x86 box.

In a related note, compiling a kernel (2.0.35 from redhat's update rpm) gives
this among others:

ppp.c: In function `ppp_set_compression':
