To summarize, there were 3 issues for my Sun sparc system:

1) luatex formats not sharable across platforms (not sure if this has been
addressed yet)

using luatex.fmt generated on i386-linux I still get a core dump when running
on big-endian (sparc), but not on little-endian iMac (arch=universal-darwin).
(I can't check x86_64-darwin as I'm running 10.5.8.)

2) the signed catcode problem with the SS compiler

resolved

3) LuaTools | fileio: variable 'SELFAUTO...' set incorrectly
 on <arch>=sparc-sun-solaris2.10 (as chosen by configure)

resolved

My tests that failed before are working now, in particular,
"context bibmod.doc".

Thanks to all for the heroic bug chasing efforts.
