Summary: Python still uses broken -xcode option on Solaris/x86

Initial Comment:
Bug 1561333 was submitted against Python 2.4 with no action, so I'm submitting a new bug against 2.5 in the hopes that someone will read it... text updated with minor corrections.

Python 2.5, Solaris x86 10 Update 3, Sun Studio 11

xcode=pic32 option is not supported on Solaris x86 Sun C  . Python's ./configure script on Solaris systems sets the
compiler flag -xcode=pic32 when any compiler other than gcc is used. Unfortunately, the -xcode flag is only available in the sparc version of Sun C. The x86 version of Sun C does not support the -xcode option at all and generates an error that an illegal option was used. The portable flag supported on both platforms to use independent 32-bit addressing is -KPIC.
