fresh devel-installation of opensolaris, fresh prefix and "env ... portage" failed at python-2.6.4 :( after hours of wasted time a look at src.opensolaris.org and found a patch. I'll attach a patch for python-2.6.4 -> 2.6.4-r00.01 and the patch from src.opensolaris.org.

Created attachment 218024 [details, diff] mentioned patch from opensolaris.org with minimal modifications from here: http://src.opensolaris.org/source/s?path=Python26-17-netpacket-packet-h.diff&project=/jds
Created attachment 218025 [details, diff] patch for python-2.6.4.ebuild
I don't understand why this patch is necessary, but also feel that this patch changes behaviour for older (open)solaris, which I can't quickly judge if that's ok or not.
OK, I didn't consider this. added a check for opensolaris and build greater equal 131 using uname -v. hopefully remotely sane.
Created attachment 218453 [details, diff] now with check for osol and build no.
Can't we solve this in the code? I'm trying to get the python ebuild ported to gx86 and this construct isn't really helping. Can you report the compilation issue upstream to see what they think of it? If you feel like making a patch you'll have to subscribe to their bugtracker anyway, since they don't accept proxied patches for legal reasons.
Ok, the opensolaris folks have created this patch, claiming it is correct this way for every solaris, but failed to report it upstream, it seems. (Unless they have developer ties.)
patch added
