Build process broken on Solaris/gcc

Description

Something in the build process is deciding that I have Sun CC installed instead of letting pycc, which handles the job of picking the proper PIC flag, do it properly: 

/usr/lib/python2.6/pycc -DNDEBUG -KPIC -I/usr/include/python2.6 -c conftest.c -o conftest.o

 gcc: unrecognized option `-KPIC'

Twisted doesn't specify this flag. Perhaps this is a distutils bug instead? I don't think any of the regular Twisted contributors have a Solaris machine to test with, so you may have to follow up on this if any progress is to be made.

I can set up a zone for someone to experiment in if they like.

Maybe someone else will take you up on that. Solaris support isn't enough of a priority for me for now to figure it out myself. If someone does figure it out and it's a problem with Twisted though, a patch will be quite welcome.
