Problem building 64-bit python 2.6.2 on Solaris 10

[John Center]

Hi,

I'm trying to build python 2.6.2 on Solaris 10 (SPARC 64), using Sun
Studio 12, but I'm having a few problems getting a clean build.  The
python configure options are:

with_gcc=no
with_universal_archs=64-bit
with_cxx_main="CC -m64"

The first problem I'm having is _ssl.so not building:

cc -m64 -xcode=pic32 -DNDEBUG -g -xs -xtarget=ultraT1 -xarch=sparcvis2
-m64 -mt
-xcode=pic32 -xmemalign=8s -xpagesize=default -I. -I/opt/ws/dists/

I have the openssl include & 64-bit libraries in the paths shown
above, so why this doesn't work?  What am I missing?


My next problem is building the ctypes module:

cc -m64 -xcode=pic32 -DNDEBUG -g -xs -xtarget=ultraT1 -xarch=sparcvis2
-m64 -mt

I think the problem is it should be built with v9.S for 64-bit, not
v8.S.  Is that correct?  If so, how do I get it to use the right one?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
