Just to add another "success" data point:  Zope2's trunk, as well as the
2.12 release, passes all tests (2535 on the trunk) and brings up the
appserver just fine under 2.7a2.

There is an obnoxious deprecation warning out of the distutils:

  DeprecationWarning: 'compiler' specifies the compiler type in
  build_ext. If you want to get the compiler object itself, use
  'compiler_obj'

which is likely a simple one-line fix, if I only knew what the hell it
was whining about. ;)  The warning is extra obnoxious because it doesn't
tell me what in *my* code triggers the warning (it (needs a 'stacklevel'
argument).
