build scipy-0.6.0 on Solaris with SunStudio 12

I finally got some clues about how to build scipy with SunStudio and Sun Performance library from this discussion thread. And here are the steps I sumerized:

1. Download the source tar file of scipy, SciPy 0.6.0 tarball, and extract it to anywhere. Apply the following changes to /usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages/numpy/distutils/fcompiler/sun.py, since f77compat library is not available on x86/x64 platform,

and apply the following patch,

2. Set CBE environment (/opt/jdsbld/bin/env.sh), and the following environment variables,

$ export LDFLAGS="-lCrun -lCstd"
$ export LAPACK=/opt/SUNWspro/lib/libsunmath.so
$ export BLAS=/opt/SUNWspro/lib/libsunperf.so

3. Then build, install, and test

$ python setup.py build
$ pfexec setup.py install
$ cd ~ # don't run the test under the source directory
$ python
>>> import scipy
>>> scipy.test()

Though, you would see several errors, most of the tests passed.
