[issue7995] On Mac / BSD sockets returned by accept inherit the parent's FD flags

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

I've tried the patch under OpenSolaris and the test fails (EAGAIN),
meaning that accept() semantics there are the same as under BSD:

======================================================================
ERROR: testInheritFlags (test.test_socket.NonBlockingTCPTests)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/antoine/vbox/py3k/cc/Lib/test/test_socket.py", line 983,
in testInheritFlags
    message = conn.recv(len(MSG))
socket.error: [Errno 11] Resource temporarily unavailable

I think the code path in the patch should be opt-out rather than opt-in:
that is, it should be executed if HAVE_FCNTL, O_NONBLOCK are defined,
and if not under Linux.
(and I don't think O_ASYNC is useful here, is it?)
