Hmm, perhaps that would be why there are Solaris, FreeBSD and Tru64 
machines amongst the main Python buildbots, to go along with the 
assorted OS X, Windows and Linux boxes - and as far as I know 
test_ctypes runs quite happily on all of them.

On the specific problems with AIX, HP-UX and ctypes, was it ctypes 
itself that was failing to build, or the underlying libffi?

Cheers,
Nick.
