 On my Sun Ultra 27, which has a quad core Xeon, running OpenSolaris
 06/2009, libgrcypt would not build. The error message indicated it was
 related to the use of assembly code.

 However, I believe libgcrypt did not cause an issue on 'disk.math', so I'm
 somewhat surprised it did on my Ultra 27. But I think it is safer to
 disable assembly language on all Solaris x86 systems. (It is '''not'''
 necessary to do so on Solaris on SPARC)

 I also added some tests for other platforms (AIX, HP-UX, Tru64 and IRIX)
 and disabled assembly language on them too. It is most unlikely assembly
 code for them will work, and I hope to try at least some of these
 platforms in the near future.

 The only updates are to spkg-install and SPKG.txt. The revised files will
 be put into

 http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/Solaris-
 fixes/libgcrypt-1.4.4.p1

 within 30 minutes of this post. (I thought I'd get the trac ticket in
 first, so the trac number can go into the SPKG.txt)
