If you have a few minutes to spend on it, you could try numscons; I
don't have access to solaris (I only have access to indiana, that is
opensolaris on vmware, 32 bits only). For solaris, the advantages of
numscons is native support sunperf, and optimization flags for
compilation (only non-arch dependant for now). As I consider it still
experimental, you should not use numpy built this way, though.
