Thanks, I understood your summary significantly better than I did the bug 
discussion :)

Any of your 3 options sounds reasonable to me (although i. sounds potentially 
fragile in the face of different versions of gcc, so iii. might be necessary 
anyway).

The quick and dirty approach would be a variant of ii. that just skipped the 
offending test for GCC on x86_64 machines. The platform library would make that 
fairly straightforward:

>>> platform.python_compiler()
'GCC 4.4.1'
>>> platform.machine()
'x86_64'
