Have you compiled earlier versions of Python on this system?

I compiled Python 2.1.1 on a Solaris 2.6 machine (don't remember which
version of gcc). The machine has since been upgraded to Solaris
2.7. I've successfully compiled python 2.2.1 on Solaris 2.7 using gcc
2.95.3.

% python2.2
Python 2.2.1 (#1, Apr 10 2002, 08:09:51) 
[GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (release)] on sunos5
