New submission from John Beck:

On Solaris, in Lib/ctypes/util.py, we have code that looks for
/usr/bin/crle and calls it to parse its output to try to determine
the Default Library Path.  This code broke recently (Solaris 12 build
65), as it expects to find a line starting with
    "Default Library Path (ELF):"
but the " (ELF)" part of that line was removed because it was no longer
needed.  So we need a change here regardless.  But it turns out that
calling crle is not needed at all because the default library path is
a constant on Solaris: "/lib/64:/usr/lib/64" in 64-bit mode and
"/lib:/usr/lib" in 32-bit mode.  Thus I offer the attached patch
for both 2.7 and 3.4.
