Summary: test/build-failures on FreeBSD stable/current

Initial Comment:
Using snapshot: python_2003-05-19_230000.tar.gz
STABLE (FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #14: Mon Apr  7)
CURRENT (most recent 5.1-BETA FreeBSD 5.1-BETA #24: Tue
May 20)

BUILDFAILURE
curses does not build; neither on CURRENT nor on STABLE
(compiler complaint:

/usr/include/ncurses.h:289: conflicting types for `wchar_t'
/usr/include/stdlib.h:57: previous declaration of `wchar_t'
/usr/include/ncurses.h:292: conflicting types for `wint_t'
/usr/include/wchar.h:96: previous declaration of `wint_t'

if lines /usr/include/ncurses.h:288-293 

#ifndef __wchar_t
typedef unsigned long wchar_t;
#endif /* __wchar_t */
#ifndef __wint_t
typedef long int wint_t;
#endif /* __wint_t */

are deleted then curses builds)

TESTFAILURES
test_re fails on both CURRENT and STABLE
 
test_long
test_pow 
and many more (probably related) tests 

fail on current

I use gcc (GCC) 3.2.2 [FreeBSD] 20030205 (release).

Most of the test failures seem to be gcc-bugs.
Rebuilding world with the extra compiler flag 

   -mno-sse2

got rid of most test failures. Now only the test_re failure and
the curses build failure remain.

I think many of the failures are due to the test_long
failure.  If that problem is fixed, my guess is several
other tests will start working.

What compiler are you using?  Can you try to debug the
test_long failure?  I don't think any python developers have
access to a freebsd box.
