[New-bugs-announce] [issue22634] importing _ctypes failed: undefined symbol: ffi_call_win32

[Siming Yuan]

New submission from Siming Yuan:

Compiling Python 3.4.2 32-bit using GCC under RHEL6.4 and RHEL5.5 yields to crash:

*** WARNING: renaming "_ctypes" since importing it failed: build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.4/_ctypes.cpython-34m.so: undefined symbol: ffi_call_win32

Why is it referring to a win32 api when i'm compiling under Linux?

This failure causes pip installation to also fail due to missing ctypes module.

FYI - 3.4.1 under exact same env. builds fine.
