This isn't an option on Solaris 10, as it doesn't ship with a
"system ffi", unfortunately. (That being said, after building
the latest libffi with Sun C, I do use --with-system-ffi in
order to override the building of Modules/_ctypes/libffi.)

Sun CC is supported by libffi for SPARC only. You're right
regarding x86/x64 though; libffi explicitly doesn't support
using anything other than gcc on Solaris if it's x86.
(Unfortunately, my only SPARC boxes are running Solaris 9
and 10. I don't have new-enough SPARC CPUs that can run
Solaris 11. If I did, this would probably be moot, as I
could just use the system libffi Sun provide.)
Side note: on my Solaris 11 x64 box, --with-system-ffi works
(once -I and -L are tweaked), but test_ctypes still fails if
you're building with Sun CC.
