[New-bugs-announce] [issue9060] Python/dup2.c doesn't compile on (at least) newlib

[Torne Wuff]

New submission from Torne Wuff <torne-pythonbugs at wolfpuppy.org.uk>:

On systems without dup2(), Python tries to compile its own from Python/dup2.c, but this file refers to close() without including unistd.h. This causes it to not compile with newlib (and possibly other C libraries, presumably it was relying on fcntl.h indirectly including it?).

This is probably true of all older versions as well, but Python 2.x doesn't appear to actually bother to compile dup2.c even if the system lacks dup2, so it doesn't actually cause a build error there.

(building python for a semi-freestanding environment is "fun")
