[Python-Dev] Solaris family and 64 bits compiling

A Solaris installation contains ALWAYS 32 and 64 bits libraries. So in
any Solaris you can run 32/64 bits programs, and compile in 32 and 64 bits.

For this, libraries are stores in "/usr/lib", for instance, for 32 bits,
while the same 64 bits libraries are stored in "/usr/lib/64".

Currently, python do not considerate this.

We have Solaris 10 buildslaves, but they compile in 32 bits, aparently.
For instance
<http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/all/builders/sparc%20solaris10%20gcc%203.x/builds/2163/steps/configure/logs/stdio>.

We now have 32 and 64 bits OpenIndiana buildslaves, so we can actually
check this. They were deployed yesterday.

Apparently the changes would be pretty simple, adding ".../64" to
library paths, to try to find the extra libraries.

What do you think?.
