The setup.py module contains method detect_ctypes on line 1546 which handles the ctypes module building and testing. Would it be OK to not do any of that on Solaris, if the compiler is not gcc? Also, SUN Studio 12, the latest edition of the SUN C compiler has "... increased GCC __asm__ and __attribute__ compatibility ...", see <http://blogs.sun.com/tatkar/entry/sunstudio_12_is_released> and <http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/documentation/ss12/whatsnew.html>. Maybe that one could compile libffi as is, for x86[_64]?
