Summary: Python still uses broken -xcode option on Solaris/x86

Initial Comment:
Bug 1561333 was submitted against Python 2.4 with no action, so I'm submitting 
a new bug against 2.5 in the hopes that someone will read it... text updated 
with minor corrections.

Python 2.5, Solaris x86 10 Update 3, Sun Studio 11

xcode=pic32 option is not supported on Solaris x86 Sun C  . Python's 
./configure script on Solaris systems sets the
compiler flag -xcode=pic32 when any compiler other than gcc is used. 
Unfortunately, the -xcode flag is only available in the sparc version of Sun C. 
The x86 version of Sun C does not support the -xcode option at all and 
generates an error that an illegal option was used. The portable flag supported 
on both platforms to use independent 32-bit addressing is -KPIC.

One problem is that the proposed change is incorrect. According to the C
User's Guide of Sun Studio 11 (document 819-3688-10), -KPIC is an obsolete
option on SPARC, and should be replaced with -xcode=pic32 (section
A.1.15).

So I think a patch should be architecture-specific. Can somebody come up
with a patch that does that?

Perhaps I was unclear in bug #1561333 that this resulted in only a
warning.  Actually the build will fail because of the incorrect flag.
