I reported earlier that binutils 2.13 does not allow Python to build properly with Solaris. FSF has just released 2.13.1, which fixes one of the problems but not the other. I have reported this fact to the binutils maintainers, who say that they will incorporate the missing patch into 2.13.2, which they will release soon. Meanwhile, here is the patch:

*** bfd/elflink.h 22 Aug 2002 01:27:19 -0000 1.185 --- bfd/elflink.h 19 Sep 2002 14:33:09 -0000 *************** elf_fix_symbol_flags (h, eif) *** 3886,3894 **** { struct elf_link_hash_entry *weakdef;

    BFD_ASSERT (h->root.type == bfd_link_hash_defined
        || h->root.type == bfd_link_hash_defweak);

•   weakdef = h->weakdef;
    BFD_ASSERT (weakdef->root.type == bfd_link_hash_defined
        || weakdef->root.type == bfd_link_hash_defweak);
    BFD_ASSERT (weakdef->elf_link_hash_flags & ELF_LINK_HASH_DEF_DYNAMIC);

--- 3886,3897 ---- { struct elf_link_hash_entry *weakdef;

•   weakdef = h->weakdef;

•   while (h->root.type == bfd_link_hash_indirect)

• h = (struct elf_link_hash_entry *) h->root.u.i.link;

•   BFD_ASSERT (h->root.type == bfd_link_hash_defined
        || h->root.type == bfd_link_hash_defweak);
    BFD_ASSERT (weakdef->root.type == bfd_link_hash_defined
        || weakdef->root.type == bfd_link_hash_defweak);
    BFD_ASSERT (weakdef->elf_link_hash_flags & ELF_LINK_HASH_DEF_DYNAMIC);
