building python on IRIX6.2
i just ran in a funny problem when i tried to build python 1.4 on
SGI under IRIX6.2:
when i make it as-is, everything's fine;
however, if i include the option "-n32" [new compilers]
then things break when it tries to make 'pgen'
because the linker can't find the symbol PyTokenizer_FromString
any more!
A solution seems to be to make the libParser.a with "ar q ..."
instead of "ar cr ..."
I'm not sure why, and i don't know if I have to change the "ar" options
for the other libs as well.
Just wanted to let you, just in case somebdoy else runs into
similar problems :)
