I actually agree. I am not sure yet, but I am thinking that adding a
"--build-64" parameter to "configure" could be an option under Solaris.
Most OSs (let say, Linux) force you to choose 32/64 bits at install
time, but Solaris can use both at the same time, and compilers allow to
compile both (using -m32 or -m64).

Since choosing 32 or 64 bits when compiling python under Solaris change
the requirement, paths, etc., automating it should be a goal.

PS: Martin, is there any reason to restrict the solaris 10 buildslaves
to 32 bits, beside the said problems?.
