I've looked at it once.  Python headers do checks on certain 64-bit
related constants, which AFAIK are set by the compiler; the assertions
in the Python code are failing.

"/opt/csw/include/python2.6/pyport.h", line 680: Error: #error
"LONG_BIT definition appears wrong for platform (bad gcc/glibc
config?).".

I see.  In the meantime, I added a setting to the lcms Makefile to
disable Python for the 64-bit modulation.
