Weren't there a bunch of 64-bit-system fixes in 2.0/2.1 ? Or were they just
for the Windows flavour, where pointers were bigger than longs ?

Could I bug you to do the same thing with Python 2.1.1c1 ? My own attempts
on Solaris 7 worked okay, but two things failed: readline, and socket (with
SSL support.) The latter works okay without SSL. I suspect that's because
both libreadline and libcrypto/libssl are static libraries, not shared ones,
and the linker barfs on it, but that's just something I realized on the way
home, so I haven't doublechecked it :) All the other modules seem to compile
fine, and all tests pass, too.

Still, it would be nice to test 2.1.1c1 on as many obscure systems as
possible ;)
