If that all seems correct, then it appears the issue is the
finalize_options() source in lib/distutils/commands/build_ext.py. There
are a number of "if" blocks that explicitly append the value of
distutils.sysconfig.get_config_vars('LIBDIR') to the list of
library_dirs used to link built extensions with. However, there doesn't
seem to be one of these for Solaris / sunos.
Could you point to one of the projects you're having trouble with? I
haven't had any such problems with Python 2.5 on Solaris 10, distutils
always finds the right things when I'm building extension modules.
It's not specific to any one project. Mostly, it seems to be tied to using a
custom --prefix where $prefix/lib is not on the default library search path. Are
you using such a custom --prefix?
