PS: Martin, is there any reason to restrict the solaris 10 buildslaves to 32 bits, beside the said problems?.
I don't see that as a restriction. I have to make a choice, and there are sooo many choices to make: - gcc vs. SunPRO - 32-bit vs. 64-bit - GNU make vs. /usr/ccs/bin/make
I picked the combination which was most easy to setup, and is therefore likely to be used by most users (except for those who think 64-bit is somehow "better" than 32-bit, when it is actually the other way 'round - IMO).
Do not think this is a personal attack. Not at all. I am deploying 32 and 64 bits buildslaves (in the same machine) and feeling the pain. You are far more experiences than me with buildbots and python. I want to know if I am missing something.
As for configuration, I personally prefer that setting CC indicates what type of build you want. Set CC to "gcc -m64" to indicate a 64-build. Ideally, you will *not* have to adjust library paths, since the other compiler will know on its own where to search things.
The problem is not with system library paths. Compilers overcome that. The problem is with things like "/usr/local/lib" and hardcoded library paths in Python.
