 This is not a PLIST issue, well at least unless you're fine with having a c=
 type-less Python installation.
 
 The problem is not in lang/python26, but in devel/libffi (which ctypes requ=
 ires). I have been able to build lang/python26 with Studio and ABI=3D64, pr=
 ovided I use a GCC-compiled devel/libffi package. The general consensus see=
 ms to be that libffi simply requires GCC.
 
 However even with GCC, libffi fails with ABI=3D64 on Solaris in a nasty way=
  - it builds a valid 64bit shared lib that doesn't include the source requi=
 red to make it anything useful on x86_64 (something that ctypes will be hap=
 py with). I have yet to turn this into a proper patch (not sure when I'll h=
 ave time for that), and it's a case for upstream fixing for sure.
