Summary: Python 2.1a and solaris8/x86

Initial Comment:
Python 2.1a does not build on Solaris8/X86 with 
gcc 2.95.2 and gmake. The problem has been observed
both with the version of gcc 2.95.2 precompiled from
Sun and with a version bootstrapped on the host where
Python should be built.

'uname -a' says: 
SunOS clutc 5.8 Generic_108529-01 i86pc i386 i86pc

Compilation has been started with
$ ./configure && gmake

The problem occurs in the link step, output is:

i see the same on SPARC (just to provide a confirmation):

    SunOS ladybug 5.8 Generic_108528-03 sun4u sparc

i think it is basically every module?  (this is a second
pass, so the compilation is already done):

gcc   -o python Modules/python.o \
                libpython2.1.a -lpthread -lsocket -lnsl
-ldl  -lthread   -lm

same true under SPARC.

The problem is that with the default settings gcc -shared
passes '-z text' to ld.
I don't know if the corresponding test make sense.
OTOH the option -mimpure-text makes things work (? =text
sects writable)
Need  .so  to have writable text sections or is gcc doing
something
wrong passing the -z text option down to ld? ...
