#1497 added a few lines of code
{{{
#!/usr/bin/env
import ctypes
print str(8*ctypes.sizeof(ctypes.c_long))
}}}
into the ATLAS build process, which reports the number of bits Sage was
compiled as. It makes use of the module 'ctypes' in Python, but
http://docs.activestate.com/activepython/2.5/whatsincluded.html
shows that ctypes is seriouly on many platforms, including
* Older linux-x86 - build failures
* aix-powerpc build failures
* linux-ia64 build failures
* solaris-sparc build failures
* solaris-x86 build failures
* hpux-parisc libffi not ported to PA-RISC arch
* hpux-ia64 build failures
* win64
Hence the code needs replacing with something less broken
