[SciPy-dev] Failure under Solaris 9, 64-bit

[Jett Logic]

I have to use Sun C 5.7 and Sun Fortran 95 8.1, producing ELF64's with 
F77='f90 -xcode=pic32 -xarch=v9' (also tried f77, no difference) and 
CC='cc -mt -xcode=pic32 -xarch=v9'   I compiled Python 2.5 
(--enable-shared) then built blas and lapack following 
http://www.scipy.org/Installing_SciPy/BuildingGeneral.

I passed -L and -R to ld for each library directory.  I had to pass -G 
to ld as well for the Fortran linking steps to prevent error of missing 
"main" symbol in crt1.o.

However, "from scipy import special" fails as below beause of the 
_cephes module which has a bunch of Fortran constants in it:

{{

>>> from scipy import special

/export/home/medscan/local64/lib/python2.5/site-packages/scipy/special/_cephes.so: 


symbol __f90_default_input_unit: value 0x3fffffffde7 does not fit
}}

(note that scipy compiles and runs fine using the 32-bit gcc toolchain, 
but I need 64-bit)

Should I file this as a bug?  Is there a workaround?
