How to build 64-bit Python on Solaris with GCC?

[Skip Montanaro]

I'd like to build a 64-bit version of Python on Solaris using gcc.  I did a
bit of Googling, but everything I came up with seemed old, inconclusive or
assumes the use of the Sun Studio compiler, with which i have no
experience.  Does anyone have a recipe for the subject build?

Thanks,
