Solaris 64 bit compilation

Please see insert. I apoligize for not providing all the info, as I
did not have
access to the machine.

Ok, What I have is Python C-Extensions that I wrote for a third party
vendors
software. Unfortunately, they have decided to ship *only* 64 bit
libraries for
Solaris. So, you see I need to build python in that mode.

What I have is :
cc: Sun WorkShop 6 update 1 C 5.2 2000/09/11
Like I said, it compiles fine for the default mode, which is creating
32bit
extensions,modules. Like I said before, I *need* to have it in 64-bit
objects,
modules,extensions etc.

So after commenting it out, here is what I get.
