I've attached patches against Python 2.5 and 2.6 to that bug. Neither is significantly different from the original patch.
http://bugs.python.org/issue1222585 Once doing that, you'll also need to make the following change to matplotlib so that the correct C++ runtime libraries are used. Once I figure out how to correctly detect the compiler being used, I'll make this change in the matplotlib SVN repository. (This is non-trivial, since distutils doesn't have a Sun compiler specialization -- it uses the "generic" Unix compiler support for both gcc and Sun Studio.)
