Summary: Python 2.4.2c1 fails to build on 64-bit Solaris 10

Initial Comment:
I have not yet succeeded in compiling Python 2.4.2c1 in
64-bit mode on Solaris 10.  I used the following flags
and configuration options, which are the same as what I
used on S9, except for the addition of the
"-xc99=%none" flag to prevent compilation failures due
to some of the other changes from S9 to S10:
setenv CC cc
setenv CXX CC
setenv BASECFLAGS "-native -xc99=%none -xarch=native64
-mt -xO3"
setenv LDFLAGS "-xarch=native64"
./configure --without-gcc

At build time I get these errors:
%  make
cc -c -native -xc99=%none -xarch=native64 -mt -xO3

It's not an OS bug, it seems certain to be a build system
bug in Python, 
please read on.

I did some more digging, and it appears that I can avoid
this problem by removing the "--without-gcc" flag to
configure.  This flag is somehow interfering with the build
process.  If I remove that flag and instead do the build
like this, I get much farther:
setenv CC "cc -xc99=%none -xarch=native64"
./configure
>From there, I run make and the build proceeds much much
farther successfully linking the python interpreter itself,
but ultimately fails just past that when using the
interpreter to do the rest:

ranlib libpython2.4.a
cc -xc99=%none -xarch=native64   -o python                 Modules/python.o                 libpython2.4.a -lresolv -lsocket -lnsl -lrt
-ldl   -lm  
case $MAKEFLAGS in *-s*)  CC='cc -xc99=%none -xarch=native64' LDSHARED='cc
-xc99=%none -xarch=native64 -G' OPT='-DNDEBUG -O' ./python
-E ./setup.py -q build;; *)  CC='cc -xc99=%none -xarch=native64' LDSHARED='cc

These look like bugs in the operating system. Please report
them to Sun.
