Summary: _socket problem on solaris

Initial Comment:
I can't get the _socket module to build on solaris 8
with gcc 2.95.3

The compilation doesn't produce any errors, only lots
of "warning: function declaration isn't a prototype",
mainly from openssl header files, but also some from
socketmodule.c itself:
/root/Python-2.1.1/Modules/socketmodule.c: In function
`PySocket_socket':
/root/Python-2.1.1/Modules/socketmodule.c:1921:
warning: function declaration isn't a prototype
/root/Python-2.1.1/Modules/socketmodule.c: In function
`PySocket_fromfd':
/root/Python-2.1.1/Modules/socketmodule.c:1959:
warning: function declaration isn't a prototype

But as they are only warnings and not errors,
compilation succeeds:
building '_socket' extension
gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -DUSE_SSL=1
-I/usr/local/ssl/include -I.
-I/root/Python-2.1.1/./Include -I/usr/local/include
-IInclude/ -c /root/Python-2.1.1/Modules/socketmodule.c
-o build/temp.solaris-2.8-sun4u-2.1/socketmodule.o
<snip loads of warnings>
gcc -shared
build/temp.solaris-2.8-sun4u-2.1/socketmodule.o
-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -L/usr/local/lib -lssl -lcrypto -o
build/lib.solaris-2.8-sun4u-2.1/_socket.so

The socket library is being referenced in the toplevel
Makefile:
LIBS=           -lpthread -lsocket -lnsl -ldl 
-lthread                                       

The errors only start to show up during 'make test':

test_asynchat
Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/root/Python-2.1.1/Lib/threading.py", line 378,
in __bootstrap
    self.run()
  File "./Lib/test/test_asynchat.py", line 12, in run
    sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,
socket.SOCK_STREAM)
AttributeError: 'socket' module has no attribute
'socket'
 
test test_asynchat crashed --
exceptions.AttributeError: 'socket' module has no
attribute 'AF_INET'
<snip>
test test_socket crashed -- exceptions.AttributeError:
'socket' module has no attribute 'error'

Is there any other information that I could provide to
help?

with kind regards,

Unable to reproduce error after installing libs for gcc3.0.1

I know, that has nothing to do with it, but that's just
Solaris for you ;-)

Try 'import _socket' and report what that does.
