Solaris
################################################################################

Python:

The default makefile uses /usr/athena/bin/install for the install
script.  This seems to get confused when it has to make directories.
Set it to use /usr/ucb/install, instead.  This only has to be done the
first time, when the directories need to be made.  Note that re-running
the makefile could result in the install script it uses being reset.

gdbm:

The makefile ends up trying to install in /usr/local regardless of the
settings in ./configure.  Set the PREFIX by hand.  Also set BINOWN to
$USER and BINGRP to mit.


Linking shared objects

Currently, linking shared objects on Solaris leads to pages of text
relocation errors.  This may be relevant:
