Hi Robb,

I¹m new to the list, and contributing to Python specifically, and I¹m interested in getting master and 3.6 branches building and working ³better² on UNIX. I¹ve been looking at a problem building 3.6 on HP-UX and see a PR was merged into master, https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/1351 and I¹d like to see it applied to 3.6. I¹m happy to create a PR with a cherry-picked commit, and/or test.
Sure, this change can be backported to 3.6, maybe also to 3.5. But hum, I may suggest to first focus on the master branch and fix most HP-UX issues, before spending time on backport. I would prefer to see most tests of the important modules pass on HP-UX (ex: test_os). For a backport, you can directly comment http://bugs.python.org/issue30183 Victor
