BTW: The buildbot reports ctypes test failures on the gentoo amd64 machine:

Is there a way to get the actual failures somehow? They are now in

I suspect that some of those failures probably aren't ctypes failures, but re-running-ctype-tests-in-the-same-process failures (like the very first one) -- I get more errors when running -R:: than I do when running the test verbosely directly.
I can reproduce that now - thanks for finding the problem. IMO, some of the ctypes tests are kind-of broken, since they keep state although they should not.
Maybe re-running the test could be done in a freshly spawned Python?
I'll try to fix the ctypes-tests starting on Monday, so I assume that would not be necessary. Thomas
