Summary: dlerror()-messages bogus on netbsd

Initial Comment:
In Python/dynload_shlib.c, a preprocessor check is done to determine if the 'NetBSD' identifier predates some value (199712) on NetBSD platforms. However, this identifier is defined in the <sys/param.h> file which is not included, and dlerror() messages are thus mistakingly hardcoded to "error in dynamic linking" on all NetBSD platforms.



Also, recent ELF-handling added targeted for OpenBSD applies to NetBSD as well.



This bug has been handled in the NetBSD package tree for some time (patch committed there by Matthias Drochner), but I couldn't find it reported in Python's buglist and the bug is present in Python's most recent cvs.


Patch enclosed.



Best regards,





Audun Nordal
