I have installed GNU binutil package to my machine to use GNU as.
I re-run configure but configure somehow always found Sun as rather than
GNU as even I saw GNU as first from my csh environment.

I temporalily renamed Sun as so that configure was forced to use GNU as.
With such brute force trick, I finally managed to build Python 2.6.1 on
Solaris/x86.

It would be nice if ctypes module and configure handle this elegantly
and amicably, instaed of arguing that Sun as is too old-fashined. 

But I don't have any good idea to deal with this so I need to leave this
to Python developers.
