_ctypes/libffi/src/ia64/ffi.c uses __attribute__((...)) twice. Consequently, ffi.c does not compile with the native compiler 
(cc: HP C/aC++ B3910B A.06.12 [Aug 17 2006]).

I tried that on a HP testdrive machine.  While the _ctypes extension buils fine with GCC (*), it does indeed not compile with the native C compiler. But cc not understanding __attribute__ is only the first problem; if it is removed there are lots of other compilation problems.  Unless someone can provide a patch, I'll close this as 'won't fix'.

(*) _ctypes_test.so is also built but fails to load as shared library, because the symbol __divsf3 is not defined.

Fails on Solaris x86 10 U3 / Sun Studio 11 for the same reasons. It's uncompilable on x86_64 anyway though, as Sun has no 128-bit integer type, so the __int128_t in x86/ffi64.c will never compile. I haven't tried building it in 32-bit mode.

Is this still a problem with later versions of Python and/or the quoted OSes?

Cannot verify:
