LONG_BIT PROBLEM on Sun Solaris 5.8 linking python

[Nancy]

I know there are lots of messages about this already posted but Im
seeing this on Solaris 5.8. Sunfire
I'm using the sun compiler. All the other messages blamed it on linux
red hat gcc compilers and glib.  Thanks.

"LONG_BIT definition appears wrong for platform (bad gcc/glibc config?).
