Whew, your C compiler can translate C++ code, too?

I prefer it if you set SUNWSPROBASE=/opt/SUNWspro instead. That will
make the C++ compiler available, too.

No, you aren't. When I had access to such a system, it worked quite
well. Now I don't have access anymore, but some other developers
certainly do. I just looked at the build reports at

    ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/reports/SunOS/i386/

and saw that indeed, python 2.5 didn't build. That's because of an
"undefined symbol FFI_DEFAULT_ABI". I expect this to be easy to fix.
