Solaris 10 + Sun Studio 12 Pyrhon 2.4.4 64-bit build problem

Mon Oct 29 15:06:15 EDT 2007

Building 64-bit Python is still elusive. I tried various ways to add  -
xtarget=opteron -xarch-amd64  to the C/C++ flags but that still fails
to produce a 64-bit build.  Changing the Makefile is not sufficient
since that causes compilation errors.

It looks like the ./configure command must run with those additional
flags.  Passing the flags in environment variables defining CC and CXX
only works for CXX.  The additional flags do not appear on the C
compiler command lines.
