Solaris Weirdness with 2.1

[Michael P Collins]

I've been trying to install Python 2.1 on a Solaris box and have run
into the following error messages during the make, any thoughts?

skipping 'timing' extension (up-to-date)
skipping 'audioop' extension (up-to-date)
skipping 'imageop' extension (up-to-date)

It goes on (and on, and on) from there - I've never seen this kind of
compile error before, and it specifically only happening on our
solaris boxes.  Any sugestions?
