[pypy-dev] pypy translation error

[Shawn Walker]

Greetings,

I've been working on getting pypy to build on Solaris 11 Express using gcc 4.5.

I could use some help deciphering the following error I encountered
during translation using "python2.6 translate.py -Ojit":

[translation:ERROR] Error:

[translation:ERROR]  --end--

If I understand the above error correctly, it's either saying
get_ifname doesn't exist as an attribute (function) or that as_object
doesn't exist.

I'm not familiar with pypy's translation errors, so I'm uncertain how
to interpret the above.

Any assistance is appreciated,
