Thanks.  I have several different versions in my local sandbox.  None
are 64-bit ELFs.  Just to make sure I hadn't missed some new development
in this area, I cloned the hg repository and build the trunk version
from scratch.  I get a 32-bit executable on Solaris:

   % file ./python
   ./python: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV),
   dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
