I did build Python 2.5 on a Solaris 10 Ultra 20 machine (Opteron) but
using the SUN compilers. Two changes were needed in the Makefile:
CXX=CC and CCSHARED=-KPIC.
There are a few issues which I have not investigated further (like Tcl
and ffitarget.h), but the tests pass except for 3 unexpected skips.
Other than that, Python 2.5 seems to be running fine, so far.
Also, I am using the Python 2.4 build for Solaris build from
ActiveState as well as Python 2.3.3 which is distributed with Solaris
in /usr/sfw/bin.
