>Description:
There are several issues with compiling on23 on IRIX 5.3:

- Python 2.3.4 bug ID #1070140: endianness not detected correctly (seems to be fixed with python2.4)
- corresponding issue to pkg/26507
- On IRIX 5.3 /usr/include/sys/types.h contains:

#if ( !defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE) && !defined(_POSIX_SOURCE) ) ||
defined(_BSD_TYPES) || defined(_BSD_COMPAT)
/*
 * Nested include for BSD/sockets source compatibility.
 * (The select macros used to be defined here).
 */
#include <sys/bsd_types.h>
#endif

sys/bsd_types.h however defines u_int.
If _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined (in pyconfig.h) this results in u_int not
being known and the compilation to fail.  

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
The first two issues are fixed by the following patch:

The third issue is solved by patching configure as follows:
