No offense taken. If you really want to know the historical background: this was the very first build slave (before I actually announced it to python-dev), and I haven't changed much from the initial setup. I just point out that none of the binaries in /usr/bin is a 64-bit binary; this includes the Sun-provided /usr/sfw/bin/python > The "-L/usr/local/lib" should be "-L/usr/local/lib/64". An example of many. Is that really the case? I.e. will ncurses automatically install into /usr/local/lib/64 if built with a 64-bit compiler? My installation doesn't even have a /usr/local/lib/64 folder. In any case: this shouldn't need a configure option. Instead, Python can find out itself whether it's a 64-bit build, and make modifications it considers necessary.
