Does gdb have problems even when you build with gcc -g -O0?
BTW, the best is to run emacs under gdb, and do it from the src
subdirectory, so that gdb can read the .gdbinit file in there.

One wild guess: maybe gdb has problems because on solaris10 unexsol.c
is used for dumping, not unexelf.c.
Maybe you could try removing the 2 lines in emacs/src/s/sol2-10.h that refer to UNEXEC...
