Hi Matt,

Does the following patch help? This patch is supposed to fix building
the Python bindings on Solaris, and will be included in Subversion
1.3.1. See
http://svn.collab.net/viewcvs/svn/branches/1.3.x/build/get-py-info.py?rev=18156&p1=branches/1.3.x/build/get-py-info.py&p2=branches/1.3.x/build/get-py-info.py&r1=18155&r2=18156

Cheers,

David
