Before enabling anything on a build slave, a patch needs to be contributed to make it work in the first place.

I actually agree. I am not sure yet, but I am thinking that adding a "--build-64" parameter to "configure" could be an option under Solaris. Most OSs (let say, Linux) force you to choose 32/64 bits at install time, but Solaris can use both at the same time, and compilers allow to compile both (using -m32 or -m64).

Since choosing 32 or 64 bits when compiling python under Solaris change the requirement, paths, etc., automating it should be a goal.

PS: Martin, is there any reason to restrict the solaris 10 buildslaves to 32 bits, beside the said problems?.
