[issue20664] _findLib_crle and _get_soname broken on latest SunOS 5.11

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

There is an Open Indiana buildbot <http://buildbot.python.org/all/buildslaves/cea-indiana-x86>, that was passing test_ctypes (until the buildbot went offline a few weeks ago). Would it be possible to include a regression test case?

Also, in <https://bugs.python.org/issue23287#msg247067>, John said that /usr/ccs/bin is a symbolic link to /usr/bin/, so I wonder if this really is a problem. Perhaps the symlink does not exist on some OS versions?

Regarding an environment variable for library searching, perhaps that is related to Issue 9998 (searched LD_LIBRARY_PATH env. var. on Linux). See also Issue 19317, discussing RPATH fom sys.executable.
