Comment(by sjamaan):

 OK, I found a spare x86 box at work, on which I managed to test
 OpenSolaris.  I used the SunStudio compiler, which exposed another pre-
 existing bug in the build. I fixed it in my branch (commits
 df072494ee5dd85bbb811bc7857abfb81f38730d and
 90098530013e9dadd5e5bd3e5807e4a2e264e0c3)

 The C compiler crashed on me once, and hung a few times without doing
 anything (once many hours overnight while I was away. When I got at work
 in the morning it was still hanging on the same file). Canceling the make
 process and restarting it fixed that, so I'll chalk that up to the
 flakiness of Sun's crappy compiler, not our build.

 A "make check" and installing and running eggs worked fine. I will try gcc
 on this platform momentarily. Hopefully by the end of the day (or else
 tomorrow) I'll have testresults.
