I've posted this on the forums, but not sure how many people watch that 
since it's a pretty quiet place..

Short version.. I've ported libffi to sun cc.. (haven't confirmed I did 
it properly as some of the asm bits were tricky and I did a cludge 
work-around)

 From there I wanted to enable ctypes in python, but having various 
problem with fbe faulting and or dumping core..

/tmp/acompAAA.5977.000000 /tmp/iroptEAA.5977.000004 
/opt/SUNWspro/prod/bin/fbe -O5 -xbuiltin -Qy
libsunir aborting on error
Assertion failed: IR_FALSE, file ../src/IrLib.c, line 182
Abort (core dumped)


SS12 gave ICE on libffe so need SSX for the better inline asm support.. 
Will there be patches or updates in the future to help with this or what 
details are needed to figure out a solution/work-around..  I can send 
patches, a tarball of the chroot env and or anything else which is 
needed to help reproduce.. (Side questions like will a 64bit sun cc be 
coming out in the near future.. compiling certain spec tests is 
requiring *a lot* of ram)

Thanks
