Ok, that's a great set of datapoints.

There are some things you can try to narrow this down further.

First, add some debugging to fdisk/fdisksunlabel.c in function
create_sunlabel().  Make sure it sets "other_endian" to zero.

Next thing you can try is to build just the fdisk/fdisksunlabel.o
object with gcc-4.0, then do the final link as normal.  If this works,
you know for sure that fdisk/fdisksunlabel.c is being compiled
differently and we can narrow down our focus into there.
