1_28_0 python2.2.1 gcc3.0.4 build on sparc-solaris-2.7 problem report

One quirk:

Python2.2.1 silently configure _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 (pyconfig.h line 104).
Boost first includes config.hpp and then wrap_python.hpp (in error.hpp lines
12,13).
config.hpp grabs /usr/include/sys/feature_test.h which switches on _LP64
defined for SUN compiler and defaults to 32 bits. This sequence leads to
redefinition of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS and incorrect definition on standard i/o
functions producing build errors:

$ bjam -sTOOLS=gcc
...found 675 targets...
...updating 22 targets...

When I set _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=32 in pyconfig.h boost went up smoothly but I
feel it's not correct.

Comments, explanations, links to RTFM are welcome.
