Did you supply '-xmemalign=1i' option to Sun compiler?  Sun compiler
needs this option for smartmontools compilation to access unaligned
2-bytes data.  Normally, configure script automatically adds this
option to CFLAGS, but it can be overwritten by command line argument
or environment variable.

If -xmemalign option is missing, you will recieve bus error right
after "SMART READ ATTRIBUTE VALUES" command by "./smartd -d -r ioctl".
Please try adding '-xmemalign=1i' to CFLAGS, or stopping overwriting
CFLAGS, or using GCC instead. GCC seems to produce correct code that
accesses unaligned data.
