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

[Thomas Heller]

Thomas Heller <theller at ctypes.org> added the comment:

I'm curious:  Why do you insist on using the sun compiler?  Are there
political or technical reasons?

Another thing: in principle it should be possible to build a libffi
shared library with gcc, and use it in a sun-c compiled python build. 
At least this would avoid the need to port assembler code from gcc to sun c.

Python should be configured with './configure --with-systemffi' for that.
