Ahh, that rings a bell. IIRC, I could not find anything wrong with
either scipy or numscons; I think it is a bug in the sunstudio compiler
when linking C++ as shared library.

The interpolate code has changed recently, it may just be that I have
not kept up the scons scripts.

As far as I am concerned, the C++ problem is a sunstudio bug, so there
is nothing I can do about it (there are several problems with sun
compilers with shared libraries, at least on the machine I have been
using it on: some flags are ignored, or not set up correctly when the -G
flag is used - I find surprising that something as basic as linking the
sunperf to a shared library does not work, for example).
