trouble building Python 2.5.1 on solaris 10

[mg]

When make gets to the _ctypes section, I am getting the following in
my output:

Assembler:
"/var/tmp//ccbsqiOB.s", line 236 : Syntax error
Near line: ".section .note.GNU-stack,"",%progbits"

my configure looks like this: ./configure --prefix=/home/ecuser/dev --
with-gcc --with-system-ffi

any ideas?
