[issue2552] test_ctypes failed Python 2.6a2 Solaris 10 SUN C

[Jean Brouwers]

Jean Brouwers <MrJean1 at Gmail.com> added the comment:

The setup.py module contains method  detect_ctypes on line 1546 which 
handles the ctypes module building and testing.  Would it be OK to not 
do any of that on Solaris, if the compiler is not gcc? 

Also, SUN Studio 12, the latest edition of the SUN C compiler has "... 
increased GCC __asm__ and __attribute__ compatibility ...", see 
<http://blogs.sun.com/tatkar/entry/sunstudio_12_is_released> and 
<http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/documentation/ss12/whatsnew.html>.  Maybe that one could compile libffi as is, for x86[_64]?
