Thanks. But some other (but 'similar') functionality is broken. Now I succeeded in compiling python. But when using distutils (e.g. when installing numarray using the setup.py), python will compile the files using the '-xarch=v9' option but drops this option when linking dynamic libraries (although I defined LDFLAGS="-xarch=v9" before configuring python). Additionally python adds the option '-xcode=pic32' to the compile-command which will compile my numarray in 32bit instead of 64bit (while python itself is in 64bit) toon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
