I'm curious: Why do you insist on using the sun compiler? Are there political or technical reasons? Another thing: in principle it should be possible to build a libffi shared library with gcc, and use it in a sun-c compiled python build. At least this would avoid the need to port assembler code from gcc to sun c. Python should be configured with './configure --with-systemffi' for that.
