The point is that building python in 64 bits under Solaris (family) is
not easy, because the 64 bits libraries (zlib, openssl, berkeley db,
curses, etc., etc., etc) are not is "/usr/lib", "/usr/local/lib", etc.,
but "/usr/lib/64", "/usr/local/lib/64", etc.

Solaris overcomes most of the issue having separate library searchpath
in 32 and 64 bits (via the "crle" command). But in some cases python try
to find some library in "/usr/local/lib", and my point is that it should
search TOO inside "/usr/local/lib/64".
