This problem looks like the problem of SPARC64 reported to BTS of up-stream.
http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=4441

configure file was fixed and this problem was solved. 
http://camlcvs.inria.fr/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ocaml/configure.diff?r1=1.244.4.3;r2=1.244.4.4

FYI, Version 3.11.0 doesn't need my patch.

Thanks in advance.
