[New-bugs-announce] [issue2401] Solaris: ctypes tests being skipped despite following #1516

[Sean Reifschneider]

New submission from Sean Reifschneider <jafo at tummy.com>:

This is a break-out of the multi-issue #2048.

Original poster Atro Tossavainen (atossava) reports:Building and testing
on Solaris 8 on SPARC with Sun compilers:
cc: Sun C 5.8 2005/10/13
CC: Sun C++ 5.8 2005/10/13

281 tests OK.
40 tests skipped:
    test_aepack test_al test_applesingle test_bsddb test_bsddb185
    test_bsddb3 test_cd test_cl test_codecmaps_cn test_codecmaps_hk
    test_codecmaps_jp test_codecmaps_kr test_codecmaps_tw test_ctypes
    test_curses test_gdbm test_gl test_imgfile test_linuxaudiodev
    test_macfs test_macostools test_nis test_normalization
    test_ossaudiodev test_pep277 test_plistlib test_scriptpackages
    test_socket_ssl test_socketserver test_sqlite test_startfile
    test_sunaudiodev test_tcl test_timeout test_unicode_file
    test_urllib2net test_urllibnet test_winreg test_winsound
    test_zipfile64
4 skips unexpected on sunos5:
    test_tcl test_sunaudiodev test_ctypes test_nis

...
test_tcl skipped -- No module named _tkinter
...

I have applied the _ctypes patch in #1516, however.  What gives?
