5.x doesn't support that symbol yet...  It would be nice if it did for
5.2...

I don't think this is specific to FreeBSD - ISTR it being reported
elsewhere (linux?).  I think Brett C has this in hand.

This and some other failures that appear with specific resource settings
should be resolved by recent checkins to configure.in/pyconfig.in (that
add the __BSD_VISIBLE symbol).

How recent was your source tree?

My 5.1 box is much slower than my 4.8 box, which combined with gcc 3.2
taking longer to compile than 2.95 means I don't test the build on 5.1 as
frequently as I'd like...
