Is there a way, to tell Python to compile a module in 32bit mode?

You could edit pyconfig.h after configuring but before compiling Python. I would advise against doing so.

Or, is there a workaround for this Solaris oddity?

You could split your code into two files, with LFS-independent data structures in-between them. IOW, define JA_psinfo_t, which has just the fields of psinfo_t that you are interested in, using LFS-independent data types. In the source file opening /proc, copy all interesting fields in the data structure pointed-to by the caller, and compile this without LFS. Then, in the Python module proper, call these helper functions, passing JA_psinfo_t.

AFAICT, it is only priovec_t, anyway, which is affected by the incompatibility, so if you don't use that, you could just pass psinfo_t through. I might be wrong here, though.
